Abstract
This article presents a systematic investigation to study the effect of electromagnetic wave propagation on static and dynamic human bodies. Two cross slot antennas of similar type with L = 70 mm, W = 45 mm and h = 1.58 mm are used to study the transmission characteristics around the body and also during double-arm swing activity. A twelve cylinder body model representing the main parts of the body is used for performing the double arm swing activity. The effect of antenna orientation on transmission characteristics is also studied using a four year child model.
