Abstract

Response to the Letter by Foster, Chou, and Croft [Speaker's Corner] J. C. Lin. Response to the Letter by Foster, Chou, and Croft [Speaker's Corner]. IEEE Microwave Magazine, 23(4): 95, April 2022, doi: 10.1109/MMM.2022.3147174. Abstract I appreciate the letter from Foster, Chou, and Croft expressing their concerns about my recent article on health safety guidelines for RF exposures [1]. The letter is understandable, given its authors strong convictions that there is nothing but heat to worry about with RF exposure. In the interest of clarity, I will respond to the writers’ three points in their order of presentation. ieeexplore.ieee.org
