  • Abstract
    The electric field and abscetbed power density inside a typical human torso 1.7 m in height induced by EM waves with frequencies ranging from 10 to 500 MHz have been theoretically quantified. Some numerical examples are given. The strongest internal electric field and absorbed power was found to be induced by an EM wave of about 80 MHz with the incident electric field parallel to the torso height.
