Abstract

In this paper, a new equation of electromagnetic wave transmission matrix was proposed to calculate the reflected power and transmitted power for the multi-layered planar lossy structure. The applied human leg was modeled as a four-layer planar structure of skin, fat, muscle and bone. The complex dielectric constant to consider the loss of each of these layers was calculated using the 4-pole cole-cole model parameter. When electromagnetic waves were incident on the skin surface, total reflected and transmitted power, and human body loss were calculated for a frequency band of 0.1 to 20.0 GHz. And for various muscle thicknesses, the power reflected only from the outermost bone and re-radiated from the skin was calculated. It was confirmed that at the muscle thickness of 3.0 mm and the frequency of 4.6 GHz the return loss was -6.13 dB, which was 3.42 dB lower than the average value.

본 논문에서는 다층 평면 손실 구조에 대한 반사 전력 및 전송 전력을 계산하기 위해 전자파 전송 행렬식을 새롭게 제안하였다. 적용된 인체 다리는 피부, 지방, 근육 및 뼈의 4층 평면 구조로 모델링하였으며 각 층의 손실을 고려하기 위하여 복소 유전 상수는 4극 Cole-Cole 모델 매개변수를 사용하여 계산하였다. 피부면에 전자파가 입사할 때 0.1 ~ 20.0GHz의 주파수 대역에서 총 반사 및 투과 전력과 인체 손실을 계산하였다. 그리고 다양한 근육 두께에 대해 최외곽 뼈에서 반사되어 피부에서 재방사되는 전력도 계산하였다. 그 결과 근육 두께 3.0mm, 주파수 4.6GHz일 때 반사손실은 -6.13dB로 평균값보다 3.42dB 낮게 나타났다.
