Abstract :
A versatile temperature controlled microwave exposure chamber has been designed especially for use in microwave bio-effects research. The device uses a thermoelectric heat pump to cool the air in the chamber below ambient and a resistive heater for above ambient operation. A unique feature of the exposure chamber is that the radiating antenna can be either inside or outside of the chamber.
