Abstract

For epidemiological studies on the possible association between mobile phone use and brain diseases, representative phone models had been numerically implemented based on the specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions and spatial peak 1-g SAR values from the SAR test reports of mobile phones released in Korea. The numerical phone models were intended to produce the mean SAR distribution for each corresponding phone type. However, measured SAR levels of commercial phones at the maximum power are in wide range even though they are the same type of model. This paper proposes a method to utilize SAR information of a specific commercial phone which is described in the corresponding SAR test report for SAR estimation in the human head exposed the numerical phone models.
