RESUMO
In this paper, an analysis of the surface electric field on a human body based on finite-difference time-domain simulations is presented. A statistical analysis of the dosemeter interaction with the human body has been made by means of the variations of the relative orientation of the human body from the RF source. Variations of the RF source frequency have also been made, by comparing three different services FM, GSM-900 and DCS-1800. Three different scenarios have been simulated where the angle of arrival of the main RF contribution impinges on the human body with a certain probability. Despite the differences between the scenarios, the variations in the electric field strength at each frequency are negligible where the dosemeter would be located.

A completely passive method of achieving phase delays inside multimode interference devices is presented. The desired relative phase is obtained by adjustment of the width of the waveguides in conjunction with the tapers to avoid interference inside the multimode section. One can generally apply the delay lines to avoid the use of active elements, and they are less sensitive to changes in wavelength than the traditional method with bends. Using this method, we have designed and analyzed a zero-to-one mode converter. The converter exhibits minimum excess loss of 0.100 and 0.102 for TE and TM polarization, respectively. A very large 1-dB bandwidth exceeding 350 nm is achieved.
