Abstract
The communication system has played an important role in human civilization from ancient smoke signals to wireless signals through electromagnetic signals. The wireless devices emit electromagnetic (EM) radiation during the active mode of operation. The human body absorbed the radiated EM waves up to a certain level. There are many short and long-term effects of EM radiation on human health. The active source of this radiation is the integrated antenna with the device. In this paper, EM absorption has been analyzed for multiband mobile communication. The human head and hand phantom models have been unitized to investigate the EM absorption towards the human body. Different types of shields to minimize the EM radiation have also been studied, and the results are tabulated to visualize the scenario.
