Abstract :
The fundamental electrical noise of living cells due to thermal and current carrier fluctuations is discussed. It is shown that the levels of thermal and shot noise at the cell´s membrane are comparable. The ionic channel opening-closing fluctuations can substantially increase the noise level and add an excess noise. The sensitivity of a typical cell is about of 10-8 W/m2. Numerical modelling of electromagnetic wave propagation in multilayered tissue is used for field level determination inside the body. The radiation density inside the body at a depth of 3-5 cm is 10-5-10-6 from this level near the surface at 4500 MHz frequency. Experiments with low-level extremely low frequency amplitude-modulated radiation at 450 MHz frequency are carried out
