Abstract

The effects of microwave irradiation at two different frequencies (1.28 and 5.62 GHz) on observing‐behavior of rodents were investigated. During daily irradiation, eight male hooded rats performed on a two‐lever task; depression of one lever produced one of two different tones and the other lever produced food when depressed in the presence of the appropriate tone. At 5.62 GHz, the observing‐response rate was not consistently affected until the power density approximated 26 mW/cm^2^ at 1.28 GHz, the observing‐response rate of all rats was consistently affected at a power density of 15 mW/cm^2^. The respective whole‐body specific absorption rates (SARs) were 4.94 and 3.75 W/Kg. Measurements of localized SAR in a rat‐shaped model of simulated muscle tissue revealed marked differences in the absorption pattern between the two frequencies. The localized SAR in the model's head at 1.28 GHz was higher on the side distal to the source of radiation. At 5.62 GHz the localized SAR in the head was higher on the proximal side. It is concluded that the rat's observing behavior is disrupted at a lower power density at 1.28 than at 5.62 GHz because of deeper penetration of energy at the lower frequency, and because of frequency‐dependent differences in anatomic distribution of the absorbed microwave energy.
