Update: “Recent advances in multi-scale and multi-physics dosimetry for mmW 5G“
Abstract: Exploiting the millimeter-wave (mmW) spectrum is an attractive solution to enable the expected traffic growth for the next decade due to deployment of mmW small cells within 5G / 6G. This will allow for larger channel bandwidth, higher data rates, ultra-low latency, and reduced interference with adjacent cells. mmW are also considered as very promising for other body-centric applications including wireless sensors networks and wireless body area networks. The corresponding new usages and services will involve near-field interaction of radiating devices with the human body, both in terms of the body impact on wireless device performance as well as in terms of user exposure. This presentation will provide an overview of main features and recent advances in the field of antenna / human body interactions in the mmW band. It will highlight the key challenges related to the micro-scale dosimetry, age-dependent effects, as well as to multi-physics measurements of the absorbed power density.
