Abstract

This paper presents a domain decomposition method (DDM) to model commercial mobile phones in the vicinity of a human head. The DDM is employed in two ways: One is to facilitate a novel non-conformal coupling scheme between finite elements and boundary elements. Secondly, it is also used to obtain the numerical Green´s function, which includes the effects of the surrounding environment. The method is applied to a sample example to demonstrate the potential applications of such an approach
