The DMC contribution in the human absorption in an indoor environment

Room electromagnetics theory is applied to determine the influence of the diffuse multipath components (DMC) in the human specific absorption rate at 2.8 GHz. The whole-body absorption is determined for an exposure to a Line Of Sight (LOS) component plus the DMC. Both experimental and numerical results show that the contribution of the DMC in the whole-body absorption can not be neglected. The whole-body specific absorption rate (SAR) may be due up to 90% to the DMC in an indoor environment.
