Abstract

TeraHertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) systems have emerged as mature technologies with significant potential in several research fields, consumer electronics, industry, and medical applications. The paper presents an initial study on the use of THz technology on the human body and the potential impact of implants or a fusion center with THz wireless links on the body, both on- and in-body. This study intends to observe the THz absorption and refraction on [pork] skin samples to start building a simulation model to study SAR on human tissues.

Keywords: THz Time Domain Spectroscopy, THz tissue characterization, Body Area Networks
