    Abstract

    The aim of this work is to compute the attenuation that an electromagnetic wave will suffer when traversing the human body. The frequency under consideration is 4GHz, but a calculation in 1.5GHz is also provided to contrast this formulation against the results of the literature. The calculation is done considering a uniform plane wave normally incident upon the skin, which traverses the chest, reach the heart and bounces back.
