Numerical estimation of SAR enhancement due to implantable medical device inside human body exposed to external electromagnetic waves - 5G cellular candidate frequency bands

摘要

The RF exposure guidelines do recognize that an increased local SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) due to metallic implants is possible. In this study, the effect of implantable medical device in human torso region is examined. A simple layer flat torso phantom is used which the implantable cardiac pacemaker is implanted in. The local SAR dependencies due to exposure frequency bands were presented. Here, we estimate localized SAR at several candidate frequency bands for 5th generation wireless systems (5G).
