The Effects of the Human Body on the Patterns of the Manpack Transceiver Antenna.

Abstract

The effects of the human body on the radiation characteristics of the portable manpack transceiver antenna are examined in this report. These effects are demonstrated using numerical techniques employing the method of moments. The human body is modeled as a lossy dielectric and the antenna as a thin-wire radiator. Results presented show the effects of the head, arms, legs, and torso on the far-zone radiation patterns. (Author)
