Abstract :
Room electromagnetics theory is applied to determine the influence of the diffuse multipath components (DMC) in the human specific absorption rate at 2.8 GHz. The whole-body absorption is determined for an exposure to a Line Of Sight (LOS) component plus the DMC. Both experimental and numerical results show that the contribution of the DMC in the whole-body absorption can not be neglected. The whole-body specific absorption rate (SAR) may be due up to 90% to the DMC in an indoor environment.
