Absorption of electromagnetic energy in human tissues is an important issue
with respect to the safety of low-level exposure. Simulation is a way to a
better understanding of electromagnetic dosimetry. This letter presents a
comparison between results obtained from a numerical simulation and
experimental data of absorbed energy by a muscle. Simulation was done using
a bidimensional double-scale homogenization scheme leading to the effective
permittivity tensor. Experimental measurements were performed at 10 GHz on
bovine muscle, 30 hours after slaughter, thanks to the open-ended
rectangular waveguide method. Results show a good agreement between
measurements and simulated data.
