Exposure of humans to electromagnetic waves is a still a highly topical issue. Many studies have concerned exposure to plane waves with only one incidence. This paper focuses on exposure to different plane waves. Incidences are part of three planes (one horizontal and two tilted of 20°) and azimuth is described with a step of 10°.  Tilt of ±20° does not involve a significant difference. Whole body exposure is varying periodically with the azimuth as well as the highlighted surface of the model. A pretty good correlation between the whole body exposure and the highlighted surface is pointed out. Moreover, the highlighted surface of Visible Human (VH) can be quite accurately assessed by considering VH as an ellipsoid. Concerning the local exposure, no specific behavior has been pointed out but maximum exposure is observed for frontal incidence.

Different illuminations studied. From left to right, elevation of 20°, elevation of 0° and elevation of -20. For each elevation, the azimuthally step is 10°.
