Abstract :
The propagation of 60 GHz electromagnetic waves around a human body is studied. The body is treated as a circular cylinder. Analytic formulations based on creeping wave theory for both vertical and horizontal polarizations are given. Measurements conducted on a brass cylinder confirmed theoretical results.
