| description | Electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to
Radio Frequency (RF) is known to cause interference
in electronics devices. Interference may cause devices
such as pacemaker to malfunctions with potentially
adverse consequences. Exposure of electromagnetic
interference comes from digital cellular telephones that
are commonly used nowadays. This paper describes
the preliminary case study on the effect of the EMI
interference with a pacemaker. Temperatures were
calculated at various frequencies to investigate the
effect. Higher temperatures may cause discomfort to
the patient. |
