RF Exposure in Wireless Regulatory Standards
RF exposure in wireless regulatory standards will be discussed through an overview of ISED’s mandate and how it fits in Canada’s legal framework. A summary of spectrum allocations, licensing and the certification process will be provided. The associated radio equipment standards that are employed for the certification process will be covered along with the role that Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 has on these standards. An overview of the adverse health effects associated with RF exposure will be discussed including concepts such as nerve stimulation and tissue heating. A high level overview of the associated electromagnetics of RF exposure will be provided. Methods that are currently employed for the measurement of device performance and the role of computational electromagnetics in the certification process will be highlighted. Some of the current and future challenges facing regulators will then be summarized.

Speakers
Frédéric G. Goora, Ph.D., P.Eng., SMIEEE of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada
Biography:
Frédéric G. Goora received his Ph.D. from the University of New Brunswick in 2014. He has more than 13 years of experience working in the Canadian aerospace and defence sector where he was involved with projects including military aircraft upgrades along with research and development into artificial intelligence applications for antenna positioning and novel electromagnetic drive systems. He is a licenced professional engineer in Ontario and is a senior member of the IEEE. His Ph.D. work included the measurement and characterization of low frequency time-varying magnetic fields for magnetic resonance imaging applications employing computational electromagnetics techniques.
He is currently a Senior Spectrum Engineer with the Engineering, Planning and Standards Branch of Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). His work is focused on developing regulations for the characterization of wireless devices along with developing enhanced computational electromagnetics capabilities to address challenging problems.
