We have successfully developed a human body finite difference time domain model based on efficient two-pole Debye dispersion, and analyzed for the first time the electromagnetic interaction between a whole human body and ultra wide band radiation having a wide frequency spectrum. The two-pole Debye dispersion model is obtained for 50 individual human tissue properties from Gabriel's Cole-Cole data by least squares fitting over a wide frequency range from 100 MHz to 6 GHz. For validation, the model is exposed to radiation of a spread spectrum signal modulated by typical binary phase shift keying. Local energy absorption in a human body has been compared between the two-pole Debye model and a conventional model with frequency-independent permittivity and conductivity.
