Far-Field Numerical Radio-Frequency Dosimetry of Insects

This summary paper provides an overview of our recent work on quantifying far-field radio-frequency electromagnetic field exposure of insects using numerical simulations. To this aim, we have developed a series of 3D digital insect models with associated dielectric parameters. These have been inserted into finite-difference time-domain simulations where they are exposed to incident plane waves from 0.6-240 GHz. This enables one to determine dependencies on frequency and insect type of the RF absorptions in insects.
