RESONANCE EFFECT OF COHERENT
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATIONS IN THE
MILLIMETRE RANGE OF WAVES ON LIVING
ORGANISMS*
M. B. Golant
(Received 10 June 1987)
The results of Soviet and foreign theoretical studies furthering understanding of the mechan-
ism of the acute resonance
action of extremely high-frequency coherent electromagnetic ta-
diationso, low power on
live organisms and the significance of these radiations for the func-
tioning of the latter are analysed.
Reference
[1] piesents a systematic review of experimental work promoting under-
standing of the mechanism of the acute resonance effect of extremely high frequency
(e.h.f.)
low power irradiations on living organisms. The results of these studies show,
in particular, that the cells of live organisms generate coherent acousto-electric vibra-
tions of the e.h.f. range used in the body as control signals of its functioning. As fol-
lows from experimental research, the influence of the external e.h.f. radiations on the
o y
is apparently connected with the fact that at certain resonance frequencies
the
signals coming from without imitate the control signals generated to maintain homeo-
stasis by the body itself. External radiations may make good the inadequacy of the func-
tioning of the control system of the body in conditions when the formation by
it
ot
signals of these frequencies in arrested or becomes less efficient for one or other reason.
Acquaintance with, the data outlined in reference
[1] greatly simplifies the review
of theoretical work allowing one not to deal with the investigations in which the initial
premise is the assumption of the impossibility of generation by live organisms of cohe-
rent vibrations.* It also becomes possible to reduce
to the limit the exposition of
the
essence of the first theoretical studies seeking to prove the possibility, in principle, of the
mechanism of generation of coherent e.h.f. vibrations in living organisms but not tying
the mechanisms considered to the features of their functional use: in such a comply
system as the living body one may imagine a number of different mechanisms of genera-

! Th* frequency range corresponding to the millimetre range of wavelengths according to Soviet
s andard GOST 24375-80 is called the extremely high frequency range.
See reference [2] to acquaint oneself with the conclusions of such theories and the resulting
insurmountable difficulties of squaring their conclusions with the results of experiments.

is connected with the difference in the character of noise in

nature dominates.
Since in this region hf^kT, the information signals, the intensity of which exceeds

ne information content of such signals rises with the frequency /. But since the neces-

In the fair shorter wave region hf^kT. Here the quantum noise associated with the
