Abstract
In this work a complete software tool, which uses the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, was developed from scratch. This tool comprises a full three-dimensional (3D) wave electromagnetic simulator and a bioheat equation solver. The application of this tool, using an anatomically based model of the human head, allows the electromagnetic and thermal analysis of a head exposed to the radiation of a mobile phone, through the determination of the specific absorption rate (SAR). Preliminary results show good agreement with previous published numerical and measurement results taken for similar formulations.
