Abstract

In the present paper, near- and far-field interaction mechanism of EM field and measurement of SAR over human body model for both near- and far-field from the electromagnetic source are described. For the modeling of equivalent human body part phantom model using Maxwell equations, parameters, like complex permittivity, polarization, internal dose, skin effect, etc., are considered. These parameters make SAR measurement easier. Further, the techniques and instruments that are used to measure the SAR for both far-field and near-field region are described. Thermal and electric probes used to measure the SAR have their remarkable boundaries while dealing with the measurement of low and high power levels. It has been identified that electric probes are used for both low- and high-power transceiver, whereas thermal probe is restricted only to high-power transceiver. Further, idea about the analysis of electromagnetic fields induced in biological tissues by thermographic camera is included.
