Prediction of the SAR Level Induced in a Dielectric Sphere by a Thin Wire Dipole Antenna
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 80, 321-336, 2008
Abstract
The interaction between a dipole antenna,represen ting a simplified model of a mobile terminal,and a homogeneous spherical model of the human head is examined. The Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is utilized,to calculate the either peak or average value of the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR),corresp onding to different distances between antenna and phantom. The variation of the SAR with the distance between the mobile antenna and the human phantom has gained significant attention in the recent literature and is investigated here. An attempt to correlate the computed SAR values with the basic antenna characteristics,suc h as the standing wave ratio (SWR),rev eals that a precise estimation of the level of the SAR can be achieved regarding data acquired from the mobile terminal.
