Abstract(in English) Biological effects due to whole-body radio frequency wave exposure is caused by body core temperature rise. According to the international guidelines, whole-body average specific absorption rate (WBA-SAR) is used as a metric for human protection from radio frequency whole-body exposures. It is well known that WBA-SAR largely depends on the frequency of the incident wave for a given incident power density. The frequency at which the WBA-SAR becomes maximal is called the "resonant frequency". It is also said that WBA-SAR in a grounded human is thought to be larger than that in an ungrounded human. Our previous study proposed a scheme for estimating WBSAR based on analogy between power absorption characteristic of human models on grounded and a monopole antenna at respective resonance frequencies. However, the variability of WBA-SAR caused by body shape have not been discussed sufficiently. In the present study, the WBA-SARs in grounded human models including pregnant woman and European and American are calculated at their respective resonant frequencies using the FDTD method. We then proposed a formula for estimating the WBSAR based on an analogy to a quarter-wavelength monopole antenna.
