Abstract :
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is one of the most important dosimetric parameters if human beings are exposed to electromagnetic fields. The following analysis shows that the SAR-formula stated in literature is accurate for time-harmonic transverse electromagnetic waves travelling in any lossy medium. The derivation of this formula as well as calculation results for some human tissues are presented.
