Abstract
Near field and Cell phone health concerns:
Near - field levels next to a working mobile phone vary enormously depending on antenna design. They often exceed the electric field and power density levels set in general exposure standards. This project will investigate the current research literature on near-field absorption phenomena using models of the human head, and relate the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) to various antenna types used in cell phones. The project will present an engineering solution (antenna pattern, shielding) which minmizes EMF interaction with the human head.
