Abstract
Spoilt by the convenience provided by mobile phones, the public is now addicted to wireless systems. Pulled by market demands and pushed by technological competitions, fixed-wire links are being replaced by wireless ones of various formats and of different frequencies. In fact, another wave of technological revolution is being unfolded with the unification of fixed-line and mobile telephones, local and wide area computer networks, radio and television broadcasts, as well as all other multimedia services into a single wireless system. The ubiquitous system will drastically change our daily lives as it will facilitate us to do anything anywhere anytime. However, it will also subject us to a non-ionizing radiation 24 hours in a day, and seven days in a week. Implementation of assorted RFID systems will definitely make the situation even more complicated. Simply put, vulnerability of a human being under the illumination of a strong electromagnetic field must be accurately accessed; otherwise, further developments of wireless systems could not be sustainable. In other words, finding the electromagnetic waves in our brain due to an antenna in proximity is of paramount importance.
