Abstract

We study the distribution of electromagnetic field when a mobile phone is used inside an elevator cabin. To this end numerically accurate models of mobile phone and human are utilized. Two different positions in the elevator are examined and the mobile phone is placed at three different talk positions, vertical, tilt and cheek. Also five different cabin types are employed. As found, position of the user or placement of phone give drastically different maximum electromagnetic field values.
