Dosimetric measurements in a 9.5‐kg tissue‐equivalent rhesus model were conducted at 225 MHz using a nonperturbing temperature probe and a gradient‐layer calorimeter. Temperature probe measurements showed deep penetration of electromagnetic energy, and calorimeter experiments showed an average SAR (0.285 W/kg per mW/cm 2 ) that was nearly three times greater than that observed for the same model at 1.29 GHz.
