Of the two investigated new arrays of points the 14-points one was proposed since it yielded the spatially averaged values nearer than those obtained over the reference areas. In addition, it was demonstrated that this array of points can lead to better results compared to those recommended in the exposure guidelines and standards, as well as to others proposed in the literature.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN Mediante simulaciones numéricas en un entorno 2D plano bajo varias condiciones de propagación multitrayecto se investigaron siete arreglos de puntos diferentes para el promediado espacial de las intensidades del campo de RF en el rango de frecuencias desde 100 MHz hasta 3 GHz en relación con su bondad para expresar correctamente el valor promediado espacialmente sobre el área plana equivalente a la ocupada por un adulto humano y un niño de seis años de edad, ambos parados. De los dos nuevos arreglos de puntos investigados se propuso el de 14 puntos ya que este produjo los valores promediados espacialmente más cercanos a los obtenidos sobre las áreas de referencia. Se demostró también que este arreglo de puntos puede conducir a mejores resultados en comparación con los arreglos de puntos recomendados en las directrices y normas de exposición, así como con otros propuestos en la literatura.]]></p></abstract>
