Abstract:
In recent years, there has been an increasing public concern about the health implications of electromagnetic (EM) wave exposure with the use of mobile telephones. In this paper, we have evaluated the EM absorption in the human head at GSM 900 MHz (Global System for Mobile telecommunications) and DCS 1800 MHz (Digital Cellular System) radiation. Two models for human head were considered. The first model was normal adult head whereas the second model was normal elderly head. First, a stratified structure of the human head is modeled. Next, a two-dimensional (2-D) cylindrical head model based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is investigated. Our previous described 2-D FDTD code based on LabVIEW has been utilized. Much attention has been paid to the induced specific absorption rate (SAR) in elderly human head.
