Abstract :
We investigate thermal effects in the human head exposed to the electromagnetic (EM) radiation of a mobile antenna at 0.9 GHz frequency. Computer simulation of EM and thermal phenomena in the given problem was performed. The simulation code is based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for Maxwell\´s equations (Taflove, A. and Hagness, S., "Computational Electrodynamics: the finite difference time-domain method", 2nd edition, Artech House, 2000) and bio heat equations (Bernardi, P. and Pisa, S., IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech., vol.48, p.1118-26, 1998) for the EM and thermal problems respectively.
