A 1800MHz transverse electromagnetic wave (TEM) cell is introduced for experiments investigating efiects on biological samples caused by the exposure from mobile communications. To characterize and quantify the exposure environment in the setup for standardized in vitro experiments, we evaluate the dosimetry and the exposure- induced temperature rise in cultured cells. The study is numerically based on the flnite-difierence time-domain (FDTD) formulation of the Maxwell equations and the flnite-difierence formulation of the bioheat transfer equation, with all algorithms and models strictly validated for accuracy. Two sample formations of cells are considered including the cell layer and the cell suspension cultured in the 35mm Petri dish. The TEM cell is designed to establish standing waves with the maximum E fleld and the maximum H fleld, respectively, at the position of the Petri dish. The Petri dish is oriented to E, iE, H, k, and ik directions of the incident fleld, respectively, to receive the exposure. The speciflc absorption rate (SAR) is calculated in cells for 10 exposure arrangements combined from the maximum flelds and Petri dish orientations. A comparison determines the best arrangement with the highest exposure e-ciency and the lowest exposure heterogeneity. The dosimetry and the exposure-induced temperature rise in cells are evaluated for the selected arrangement. To avoid thermal reactions caused by overheating, the maximum temperature rises in cells are recorded during the exposure. Based on the records, the temperature control is performed by setting limits to the exposure duration. We introduce a method to further reduce the exposure heterogeneity and evaluate the in∞uence of the Petri dish holder on the dosimetry and temperature rise. The study compares the TEM cell to the waveguide, as well as the standing wave exposure
