Abstract

This paper investigated the analytical solution of the temperature elevation in one-dimensional human model due to millimeter wave exposure for parametric analysis. The analytical solution of the bioheat equation for the one-dimensional three-layer model has been derived using the Laplace transform. Temperature distribution obtained from the analytical solution is compared with those derived from a numerical difference method. Good agreement has been found between them, suggesting the validity of our analytical solution. The derived expression is useful to clarify the effects of biological parameters on the temperature elevation.
