Estimation of the SAR in the human head and body due to radiofrequency radiation exposure from handheld mobile phones with hands-free accessories.

Abstract:

:It was reported by others that hands-free accessories increase the absorption of RF energy in a human head compared to a handset alone. The results of this study show that the opposite is observed when proper dosimetric methods are employed. It is pointed out that for correct estimation of the exposure level it is necessary to use appropriate physical and experimental models and measurement instrumentation, following internationally recommended standards. The human phantoms used for measurements involving the hands-free accessories should include the torso; i.e., measurements should not be performed on the head phantom alone. This has a significant impact on the results because the RF energy coupled into the leads of hands-free accessories is strongly attenuated by the body. Numerical simulations using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method and experimental measurements with a miniature electric-field probe are in good agreement and show a decrease, not an increase, in RF energy exposure in the human head from hands-free accessories.
