The great majority of numerical calculations of the specific absorption rate (SAR) induced in human tissues exposed to microwaves are performed using the finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method and voxel-based geometrical models. The straightforward implementation of the method and its computational efficiency are among the main reasons for...

The use of stochastic approaches for the electromagnetic characterization of complex systems is illustrated in two cases that are reverberation chambers and urban environment. Several stochastic approaches are adopted in both cases, from a perturbative approach to the determination of distributions; the indications they provide as well as the...

The ever-rising diffusion of cellular phones has brought about an increased concern for the possible consequences of electromagnetic radiation on human health. Possible thermal effects have been investigated, via experimentation or simulation, by several research projects in the last decade. Concerning numerical modeling, the power absorption...
