Numerical Analysis of the Electric Field Distribution within Complex Cell Structures

This paper shows the importance of using realistic cell shapes with the proper geometry and orientation to study the mechanism of direct cellular effects from RF exposure. For this purpose, the electric field distribution is computed, using the FDTD technique, in realistic cell models exposed to a linearly polarized plane wave of frequencies 900 MHz and 2.45 GHz. Furthermore, an insight on the mutual interactions between erythrocyte cell models shows that polarizing effects significantly affect the values of field intensity within the cell.
