Abstract

The present study proposes a quasi-static finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for dosimetry in humans due to contact current at low frequencies (∼10kHz). Our attention focused on wave sources which can reduce computational time. The computational time was found to be reduced using a voltage source of a step function with smooth start. The computational time required for the proposed method was smaller than a quasi-static FDTD method proposed in a previous study. Comparison between our computational results and those in a previous study suggested the effectiveness of our proposal. The difference in in-situ electric field due to different human models was a factor of 2 or so.
