Abstract :
An experimental evaluation for the specific absorption rate (SAR) is necessary to estimate the interaction between the human body and electromagnetic waves. This paper presents measurements for the SAR of modeled human heads using the tissue-equivalent solid phantoms. The phantoms developed have almost the same complex dielectric constant as homogeneous tissue in the microwave region
