Numerical examination of EM wave shadowing by human body

Scattering by a lossy dielectric cylinder is examined numerically in order to confirm the modeling as human body. The scattering problem is examined by using Method of Moment as the numerical technique. The transmitted power is calculated and compared with the experimental results. The effect of the shape e.g. the elliptical cylinder and the elliptical cylinder with circular cylinders is examined. By comparison with the experimental results, it is shown that the equivalent diameter of human body is appropriate. The frequency characteristics of the equivalent diameter are also shown.
