Energy deposition in a model of man in the near field.

The spatial distribution of the specific absorption rate (SAR) was measured in a full-scale model of man using implantable electric field probes. The model was exposed in the near-field of linear and aperture antennas at 350 MHz. Effects of the wave polarization, antenna position and antenna gain on the SAR distribution and the average SAR in the whole-body and body parts are reported.
