Numerical Analysis of Human Head Interaction with PIFA Antennas in Cellular Mobile Communications
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 22, 359-377, 2010
Abstract
This paper presents a numerical simulation of the human head coupling with a Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) structure based on the Coupled Integral Equation/Method of Moment (CIE/MoM) approach to study the effects of the EM coupling on the antenna performance. A mix-potential integral equation (MPIE) for the surface current of PIFA structure and a volume electric field integral equation (VEFIE) for the head with mutual coupling terms are obtained. Finally numerical results will be presented at 900 and 1800 MHz for the antenna performance parameters. The validity of the proposed method is evaluated using the XFDTD software.
