Abstract :
For numerical dosimetric simulations of complex electromagnetic human exposure situations the method of moments (MoM) is coupled with a finite integration time domain (FITD) scheme: The MoM simulation features a simple model of the body under test and computes the field distribution on a closed surface around the body. This field information is used to define equivalent sources on the surface for a full three-dimensional FITD simulation featuring a high-resolution body under test. First numerical results are presented for this novel approach.
