Human Equivalent Antenna Model for HF Exposures: Analytical versus Numerical Approach
Abstract
In this paper, the human exposure to HF radiation is analyzed using the simplified human equivalent antenna model featuring analytical and numerical approach, respectively. Namely, the human body is represented by an equivalent receiving straight thin wire antenna vertically located on the perfectly conducting (PEC) ground plane. This thin wire representation of the human body is based on the corresponding Pocklington integro-differential equation. The Pocklington equation is solved both numerically and analytically. The numerical solution is carried out using TWiNS code based on the Galerkin-Bubnov scheme of the indirect boundary element method. The excitation function is given in the form of the incident electric field. The obtained results are composed against King analytical results.
