Numerical Analysis of Specific Absorption Rate and Heat Transfer in the Human Body Exposed to Leakage Electromagnetic Field at 915 MHz and 2450 MHz

摘要

In recent years, society has increased utilization of electromagnetic radiation in various applications. This radiation interacts with the human body and may lead to detrimental effects on human health. However, the resulting thermophysiologic response of the human body is not well understood. In order to gain insight into the phenomena occurring within the human body with temperature distribution induced by electromagnetic field, a detailed knowledge of absorbed power distribution is necessary. In this study, the effects of operating frequency and leakage power density on distributions of specific absorption rate and temperature profile within the human body are systematically investigated. This study focuses attention on organs in the human trunk The specific absorption rate and the temperature distribution in various tissues, obtained by numerical solution of electromagnetic wave propagation coupled with unsteady bioheat transfer problem, are presented.
