Design of a Skin Equivalent Phantom for Estimating Surface Temperature Elevation Due to Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields From 10 to 100 GHz

A semisolid human-body phantom for simulating the steady-state temperature elevation at the skin surface due to exposure to millimeter waves (MMWs) and quasi-MMWs was developed in this article. The phantom was designed by optimizing the electric constants of a mixed material consisting mainly of water and glycerin. First, the empirical equation of the complex permittivity of the phantom with respe...
