Interaction of emerging mobile telecommunication systems with the human body

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Emerging telecommunication systems, with new devices and new transmission techniques will modify the exposure of the population to electromagnetic fields [1] [2]. Although the risk for human health is currently thought to be low, there is a need to clarify these changes. This work involves analyzing typical scenarios and worst cases and developing new techniques and standards for the compliance testing of personal communication devices. The approach can be divided into two interconnected parallel strands. Numerical models have been developed, tested and refined to reproduce and predict Non - Ionizing Radiation (NIR) exposure of the human body using Finite Difference Time Domain Technique (FDTD). Experimental validation has been performed using physical phantoms and human volunteers and will be reported in future publications.
