Abstract

In the context of the fast development of millimeter-wave (mmW) technologies for future 5G cellular networks and concerns related to their possible impact on the human health, this paper introduces a first analysis on the mmWs interaction with the human body. Firstly, the main regulations on the exposure limits at mmWs are reviewed. Secondly, an investigation on the skin modeling in terms of homogeneous vs. multilayer model is performed. In particular, power reflection coefficients and power density distributions are compared for different models. Our results provide an insight on the choice of an appropriate human body model for dosimetric analysis in the 60 GHz band.
