Abstract: Within the last decade mobile phones usage has been rapidly spread globally. A question has been raised repeatedly as to whether frequent usage of such device which radiates GHz electromagnetic field onto the human head is unsafe.
The paper comprises 2D and 3D finite element models of the human head exposed to the electromagnetic field radiated by several antenna types. The corresponding electromagnetic field and SAR distributions have proof the accuracy of the models. Coupled electromagnetic field-heat transfer analysis was also performed.
Aspects concerning the efficiency of the microwaves shielding using composite polymer films will be described.
