Abstract

In this research article, a compact array antenna is presented and further it is attached with human body like brain to look up the effects and consequences of high frequency radiation on human brain. Array antenna is presented to operate at X-band which is also used in civil, military and government institutions for weather monitoring, air traffic control, etc. This type of band has wavelength range 3.75–2.5 cm. The performance of antenna is measured both in free space and on human body. High directivity of 5.766 dBi at 11.75 GHz is obtained which is very good for communication system. According to FCC limit, the SAR value at 1 g tissue is 1.6 Watt/kg. High radiation array antenna having value of SAR will decide whether this antenna is a good choice to operate by human or is only be useful for military operations.
