title: Microwave power absorption in a multilayered cylindrical model of man near a flat reflector.
abstract: There are usually objects in the vicinity when a person is exposed to electromagnetic waves. It is exceedingly difficult to calculate the whole-body average specific absorption rate (SAR) in the microwave frequency region using a realistic heterogeneous model of man. In this paper, we use a multilayered cylinder model to numerically examine the average SAR of an adult standing near a flat reflector exposed to microwave energy. We also offer a comparison with existing data from a realistic model for an E-polarized wave below 600MHz.
