- sobriquet9 5y agoThe linked article shows biological effects of low frequency electromagnetic fields, then argues that cell phone signals contain low frequency components "in the form of on/off pulsations, modulation, and signal variability". But cell phones cannot really transmit at low frequencies because their antennas are too small compared to the wavelength. That's why they use high frequency carrier and modulate it. If you look at the spectrum of the transmitted signal, there's almost nothing at the low end. For this effect to exist, something in the living cells need to rectify the high-frequency radio signal. I wonder what it is. There are no semiconductors or p-n junctions inside the cells. There are bug detectors that work by using this principle, and they are not triggered by living tissue.
