description |
Nowadays human life is comprehensively surrounded by many number of
wireless devices and gadgets. Modern generation lives and works in wireless
application devices such as mobile phones, remote control, GPS tracking devices
that makes our living more comfortable and accessible. It directly infers that we
are continuously in contact with electromagnetic fields. It is very essential to
study the effects of electromagnetic fields on human body, only to understand the
possible health effects that these electromagnetic fields can cause on human body.
In this project, four layers of the human tissue i.e., skin, fat, muscle and
bone were also designed with all their required parameters embedded into it. The
multilayer human tissue model is exposed for exemplary frequencies from 0.4
GHz to 3 GHz. The multilayer human tissue model was designed and verified in
the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) using the Microwave and Bio
Medical Device-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
This project focuses on studying the radiation effects in human tissues on
exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted from one particular antenna. The
antenna designed is a dual band antenna embedded within a wrist wearable
Personal Locator Device (PLD). It is capable of transmitting distress signals alerts
(Beacons) and receives GPS signals simultaneously.
The simulation is performed and analysed for different human body parts
such as arm in specific. The arm is chosen since the antenna is worn on the wrist
part of the arm.
The antenna has been designed and reproduced using the Computer
Simulation Technology (CST) and the simulations are run to study the radiation
effects. To check and determine whether the antenna could be safe or not, Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) and temperature increase have been calculated and
tabulated for different human tissues. |
