Abstract
This paper details development of human body models for use in simulations for EMC certi¿cation and testing of aircraft. Current models are reviewed and their unsuitabilities for the task in hand are highlighted, which chie¿y arise from inappropriate levels of complexity resulting in unfeasible computational loads. Tissue layering close to the body’s surface is investigated, as are the frequency-dependent properties of the relevant tissues, to give a model of human interaction with EM ¿elds over a broadband frequency range. For a preliminary model, lossy dielectric spheres are simulated loading a cavity, and results are compared. These are found to be inadequate and a new model is developed, using layered dielectric cylinders to give a better ¿t to the body’s EM characteristics while still maintaining relative simplicity compared to the anatomically correct models previously reviewed.
