Abstract

A parasitic antenna model of a human body exposed to the ELF electromagnetic field is proposed. The human body is, in accordance with wire antenna theory, represented by a cylindrical monopole antenna located vertically over perfect ground. The analysis is performed by solving the corresponding Pocklington integral equation by means of the boundary element method. Numerical results are presented for the current distribution induced in a human body standing on the perfect ground near a three phase power line
