RF energy deposition in a heterogeneous model of man: far-field exposures

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Bio-Med. Eng.; (United States)
Distributions of the specific absorption rate (SAR) were measured in a full-scale heterogeneous model of man. The model contained a skeleton, brain, lungs, and muscle. All these tissues had dielectric properties close to those of the respective in vivo properties of actual tissues at the test frequencies. SAR's were measured for exposures in the far field at 160, 350, and 915 MHz for the E and H polarizations. A computer-controlled scanning system and an implantable, minimally perturbing electric field probe were used. The results are also compared with the SAR distributions previously measured in a homogeneous model.
