Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We propose a method for calculating the specific absorbed power in biological objects using the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind with respect to the surface density of the electric charge. the regularization of the equation allows us to perform numerical calculation in the case of singularity of the kernel of the integral equation and obtain stable solutions. We calculate the specific absorbed power in a biological object represented by the operator of an industrial high-frequency welding plant. The dependence of the specific absorption on the type of floor coating in a production room and the air gap between the floor and the operator’s feet is estimated.
