I am working with a low-power radar (-15dBm) which we are going to amplify as much as we can by using of-the-shelf components to see how far we can extend the range.
For this project I am looking into the health issues of sending out more power (probably less than 50-100W). As I understand it, there are no proven health issues when there is no significant thermal heating in the tissue. Therefor I am trying to find out how much power which is needed to cause a significant thermal heating on humans.
Given a person's distance from the radar and the radar's emitted power, is there any simplified calculations that I can do to get a brief overview of the hazard of "significant thermal heating"?
Any links, google search words or any clues at all is appreciated.
Best Regards
