A simple, cost‐effective, and accurate technique to measure the whole‐body‐averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) in Sprague‐Dawley rat carcasses by a single‐gradient‐layer calorimeter is described. The results of SAR determinations showed a highly linear relation between the average power density of the incident field (1.25 GHz) and the normalized heat loading of the carcasses. 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
