Device for electromagnetic exposure assessment comprising a field enhancing element

Abstract

A device for measuring a physical quantity related to an electromagnetic field emitted by an electromagnetic source. The device is configured to simulate the electromagnetic characteristics of a reference object made of a lossy medium, e.g. a biological tissue. The device includes: a dielectric layer including an upper surface faced to the electromagnetic source and a bottom surface, the dielectric layer being at least partly transparent to the electromagnetic field emitted by the electromagnetic source; an electromagnetic field enhancing element arranged relative to the dielectric layer and configured in a manner to enhance the intensity of the electromagnetic field transmitted through the dielectric layer in a pre-determined zone; and a sensor arranged beneath the electromagnetic field enhancing element and configured to measure the physical quantity related to the electromagnetic field transmitted through the dielectric layer and the electromagnetic field enhancing element.
