Abstract

Analytical model of human body is used to calculate the electric field and current density induced in human body when it is exposed to high frequency electromagnetic fields (50-200 MHz). Especially, of interest are frequencies used by radio amateurs (50-200 MHz). Formulas used in this study are derived by using a cylindrical model of human body. Tabulations and graphical representations illuminate the results. The intent of this work is to draw more attention on possible health effects that RF fields from radio amateur antennas might have on human body
