Abstract :
The paper is focused on the estimate of the uncertainty of the results obtained by a hybrid experimental/numerical procedure for the evaluation of the electric field induced in a human body radiated by a LF magnetic field produced by unknown sources. The procedure is based on magnetic field measurements in a limited number of points around the field source and makes use of the Boundary Element. A method for the evaluation of the uncertainty contributions due to both the measurement process and the use of a discrete numerical technique is presented.
