Abstract :
We compared the SARs of the anatomically realistic model of a three-year-old child exposed to vertically and horizontally polarized electromagnetic waves in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 3 GHz with those of the uniform and nonuniform scaling models. We found that it is important to use the anatomically realistic model for highly precise simulation for three-year-old children.
