Short summary
This study explores how electromagnetic waves at 92 GHz potentially ignite explosive atmospheres. Different materials were exposed to high-frequency waves and the resulting temperature increase was measured. A material was selected and controlled ignition tests in explosive gas-air mixtures were conducted. The results show that up to 800 mW can be safely used without triggering an explosion. This suggests that current safety standards (limited to 60 GHz) could be expanded to higher frequencies.
