Human Body Exposure to a Vehicular Antenna: a Numerical Study in a Realistic Military Scenario

In this work, near field exposure of the military crew to a vehicular antenna was investigated in a realistic scenario. The aim was to deepen the knowledge of induced electric (E-)field and SAR inside the human body (i.e. Duke, ViP, v.3) when it is standing partially outside the vehicle, in close proximity of the radiating antenna. Dosimetric results obtained at 16 MHz showed that, while the intensity of the radiated electromagnetic field exceeds guidelines reference limits, the E-field and SAR values induced inside the body remain well below the safety limits.
