Specific absorption rates induced in a heterogeneous model of the human female urinary and reproductive systems

This article presents a comparison between different simulated exposure scenarios of the human female complex urinary and reproductive systems to nonionizing electromagnetic radiation. Numerical simulations were run using commercial software based on the finite difference time domain method. The frequency of the electromagnetic radiation was changed alternatively between four values: 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, namely the WiMAX carrier frequencies. The antenna was placed in several positions relative to the model. Values for the specific absorption rates were calculated. Conclusions were drawn and directions for future work were outlined.
