Abstract :
This paper describes the research work done by using the method of moment in investigating the effects of high frequency electromagnetic field (EM) on a homogeneous and inhomogeneous human head at various frequencies. The behavior of the human head under EM radiation is modeled as a homogenous model and a multilayer model in order to assess biological effects on the human head. The specific absorption rate (SAR) in the human head model is calculated, where the SAR is the main parameter used for indicating the effects of EM field.
