Absorption of EM energy by human body in the vicinity of the GSM base station antenna

A hybrid method is proposed for specific absorption rate analysis in a human body in the near field of typical GSM base-station panel antenna. The method combines the FDTD technique with an analytical description of the near field of the isolated antenna. The approximate results are found to be in excellent agreement with the results obtained by using the traditional FDTD method. The most important advantage of the proposed approach is minimization of computer memory requirements and computation time.
