Effects of electromagnetic absorption toward a human head due to variation of its dielectric properties at 900 and 1900 MHz with different antenna substrates

Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of electromagnetic (EM) energy absorption at 900 and 1900 MHz when the human head’s dielectric properties are varied. This radiation is measured in terms of specific absorption rate (SAR). The characteristics of the helical antenna and its substrates with variation of the human head dielectric properties were simulated via the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method using the CST Microwave studio. The human head dielectric properties are manipulated by increasing and decreasing 10% and 20% of each dielectric property. In this study, SAR values increase with increase of the human head’s conductivity, while increase of permittivity and densities decreases it. A helical antenna with a substrate of FR4 resulted in higher SAR values in all frequencies. The head SAR values are higher in the upper frequency exposures. The helical antenna with a substrate of Rogers RO3006 (loss free) was found to be the best-tested substrate, which contributed toward much lower SAR values in all GSM frequency bands.
