On calibration of correction law for EMF measurement errors due to the proximity of the human body

We present in this paper the calibration of a correction law to overcome the electric field (e-field) measurement errors due to the presence of the dosimeter in the vicinity of the human body. The Correction law proposes to use only two measuring points close to the body. These measurements are made at regularly goshawks separate points of the body, either in the chest, abdomen or waist. The goal is to propose a useful distributed worn-body dosimeter who can apply a correction law to these separate values compared to the maximum value known beforehand. This correction law is currently derived to simulation for GSM, DCS and UMTS downlink Bands and shortly performed by measurements. Assessing the real EMF exposure value in real-time is the key question for sanitary authorities as well as for industry (Manufacturer and Operator).
