Abstract-Electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption characteristics for a Bonsai tree are investigated at GSM-900 band. Finite Difference in Time Domain (FDTD) method is hybridized with Friis transmission equation to carry out all the required EM simulations. The tree has been modelled using CT scan based 3D dataset considering different electrical parameters. Maximum local electric (E) field, magnetic (H) field, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and Shielding Effectiveness (SE) have been calculated for the tree placing at distance of 5 m away from a radiating Base Station Antenna (BSA) with 20 W input power. The maximum local E field, H field, 1-g SAR and SE obtained by the simulation are found to be 70.1 V/m, 0.09 A/m, 0.135 W/kg and 13.18 dB, respectively. Plants are found to be good natural electromagnetic radiation shield.
Friis transmission equation combined with Finite Difference in Time Domain (FDTD) method has been used to carry out investigation on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) inside the human head model exposed to a 100 Watt GSM Base Station Antenna (BSA) at GSM-900 band. Maximum local SAR (MLSAR) has been calculated at 925 MHz, keeping distance between head and BSA in the range of 0.5 m to 5.0 m. The human head is modelled as an inhomogeneous sphere of diameter 21.0 cm. The objective of this study is to estimate MLSAR induced in the human head model by BSA and compared with recommended values.
Abstract-Investigations have been carried out on the convex lens effect of non-ionizing radiation inside the abdomen of a pregnant woman. Focusing property for a plano-convex lens, which is thicker than twice of its focal length and filled with water, is studied for electric and magnetic fields at different microwave frequencies. It is observed that real image of electromagnetic fields are formed inside the lens itself at the focal plane when a microwave source is placed at a distance much greater than the twice the focal length. A three dimensional homogeneous electrical model of pregnant woman abdomen model behaves like plano-convex lens and creates real image of the microwave source inside the abdomen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
