Design of Human-Skin Equivalent Phantom for Evaluating the Surface Temperature Elevation due to Millimeter Wave Exposure

Use of Millimeter wave (MMW) frequencies in 5G and WiGig wireless devices will increase the public concerns on human safety for electromagnetic fields exposure. Major health effects due to MMW exposure are the local temperature elevation on the skin surface. To evaluate the heating effects caused by wireless devices employing MMW frequencies, it is essential to develop a human-skin equivalent phantom to represent the required surface temperature elevation on a multi-layer skin model.
