Absorption in human body at 900 MHz for oblique incidence of plane wave

ICNIRP(1998) and IEEE C95.1-2005 limits for human exposure to radio-frequency fields are derived based on the condition of maximal coupling of the field to the body. In this study, at 900 MHz, the whole body average specific absorption rate (SAR_WB) for an adult´s and a child´s body is computed under these conditions and is shown to be also relatively uniform when explored over a range of oblique angles of incidence and polarisation of a constant amplitude plane wave. The SAR_WB in the body remains below the public limit of 80 mW/kg when the oblique field is maintained at the limit value of 41.1 V/m.
