Cellular phones are used in the vicinity of the human head, resulting in localized exposure to this part of the body. To simulate exposure during cellular phone use, microwave energy absorption should be focused within the head region of laboratory animals. In this paper, we developed an exposure system using a figure-8 loop antenna to permit localized exposure of a rat head to 1500-MHz microwave fields, simulating human head exposure to cellular phones. We have numerically estimated the specific absorption rate (SAR) in a rat exposed to microwave fields via our new exposure system. The high ratio of SAR averaged over the target tissue (i.e., the brain) to that averaged over the whole body suggests that the figure-8 antenna can realize greater localized exposure than the previously used exposure system. We have also confirmed the effectiveness of our proposed system experimentally. 相似文献

We have investigated the application of two different types of novel shorted-patch antennas for mobile communications handsets at 1800 MHz. A single shorted-patch and a stacked shorted-patch antenna offering improved bandwidth are compared with data for a λ/4 monopole. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique was used to calculate antenna characteristics such as impedance and radiation patterns for two cases: on a handset and on a handset near a (2.5-mm voxel) heterogeneous head model in an actual position of phone use. We also obtained specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions and calculated the spatial peak 1-g SAR values. In addition, the effect on SAR and antenna characteristics of including a block model of the hand was assessed. Similar performance is achieved from the single or stacked shorted-patch antenna with the latter providing greater bandwidth, 8.2% versus 9.4% with the head and hand included. Both antennas reduce the l-g spatial peak SAR value in the head by 70% relative to the monopole. The presence of the hand reduces the efficiency of all three antenna types by approximately 10% 相似文献

The specific anthropomorphic mannequin (SAM) phantom was designed to provide a conservative estimation of the actual peak spatial specific absorption rate (SAR) of the electromagnetic field radiated from mobile phones. However, most researches on the SAM phantom have been based on early phone models. Therefore, we numerically analyze the SAM phantom to determine whether it is sufficiently conservative for various types of mobile phone models. The peak spatial 1‐ and 10‐g averaged SAR values of the SAM phantom are numerically compared with those of four anatomical head models at different ages for 12 different mobile phone models (a total of 240 different configurations of mobile phones, head models, frequencies, positions, and sides of the head). The results demonstrate that the SAM phantom provides a conservative estimation of the SAR for only mobile phones with an antenna on top of the phone body and does not ensure such estimation for other types of phones, including those equipped with integrated antennas in the microphone position, which currently occupy the largest market share. 相似文献

The specific absorption rates (SAR) determined computationally in the specific anthropomorphic mannequin (SAM) and anatomically correct models of the human head when exposed to a mobile phone model are compared as part of a study organized by IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 34, Sub-Committee 2, and Working Group 2, and carried out by an international task force comprising 14 government, academic, and industrial research institutions. The detailed study protocol defined the computational head and mobile phone models. The participants used different finite-difference time-domain software and independently positioned the mobile phone and head models in accordance with the protocol. The results show that when the pinna SAR is calculated separately from the head SAR, SAM produced a higher SAR in the head than the anatomically correct head models. Also the larger (adult) head produced a statistically significant higher peak SAR for both the 1- and 10-g averages than did the smaller (child) head for all conditions of frequency and position. 相似文献

The effect of mobile phones on human health is becoming a serious concern in the last decade. This paper suggests a novel water-based cellular phone antenna for reducing the electromagnetic wave radiation toward human head. Two antennas are considered: a single band PIFA operating at 1.8 GHz, and a dual band PIFA operating at 900 MHz and 1.8 GHz. The specific absorption rate (SAR) is decreased up to 0.6 W/kg by limiting the propagation of near electromagnetic fields toward the human head and therefore reducing the current density distribution. The reduction of SAR is carried out by introducing an U-edge wall made of an absorbing water material at each corner of the ground plane. 相似文献

A polarization diversity antenna (PDA) is described, and its performance is compared to that of a monopole antenna at frequencies near 900 MHz. Numerical modeling of each antenna, using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique, incorporates a cellular telephone handset in the vertical orientation, the user's head and hand, and the mobile communications environment. Results indicate that the two modes of the PDA are sufficiently uncorrelated for diversity operation and that, overall, the values of the mean effective gain (MEG), efficiency, and averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) in the head are better for the PDA than for the monopole antenna. However, in terms of the MEG, the PDA is more sensitive than the monopole antenna to the presence of the user's body. For the PDA, most of the power absorbed in the user's body is deposited in the hand, whereas for the monopole antenna, most of the absorbed power is deposited in the head. For both antennas, the MEG depends on the environment (urban or suburban) 相似文献

Reduction of the Peak SAR in the Human Head With Metamaterials 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The electromagnetic interaction between the antenna and the human head is reduced with metamaterials. Preliminary study of SAR reduction with metamaterials is performed by the finite-difference time-domain method with lossy Drude model. It is found that the specific absorption rate (SAR) in the head can be reduced by placing the metamaterials between the antenna and the head. The antenna performances and radiation pattern with metamaterials are analyzed. A comparative study with other SAR reduction techniques is also provided. The metamaterials can be obtained by arranging split ring resonators (SRRs) periodically. In this research, we design the SRRs operated at 900 and 1800 MHz bands. The design procedure will be described. Numerical results of the SAR values in a muscle cube with the presence of SRRs are shown to validate the effect of SAR reduction. These results can provide helpful information in designing the mobile communication equipments for safety compliance 相似文献

This paper presents a thorough investigation into the effects of several phone chassis-related parameters-length, width, thickness, and distance between the head and phone-on the bandwidth, efficiency, and specific absorption rate (SAR) characteristics of internal mobile phone antennas. The studied antenna-chassis combinations are located beside an anatomical head model in a position of actual handset use. The effect of the user's hand is also studied with two different hand models. The main part of the study is based on FDTD simulations, but also experimental results, which support the computationally obtained conclusions, are given. The presented analysis provides novel and useful information for future design of mobile handset antennas. The results show the general trends of bandwidth, SAR, and efficiency with different chassis parameters. The results also reveal a connection between these three performance parameters: an increase in SARs and a decrease in radiation efficiency occur compared to the general trend when the bandwidth reaches its maximum. This happens when the resonant frequency of the chassis equals that of the antenna. 相似文献

The power absorption characteristics of the prolate spheroidal model of an average man have been studied when the model is exposed to the near fields of an arbitrarily located small loop antenna. An integral equation is formulated and the fields radiated by the loop are expanded in terms of the vector spherical harmonics. This equation is then solved using the extended boundary condition method (EBCM,). For three different loop-spheroid configurations, the power distribution and the average SAR have been calculated as a function of the frequency and the separation distance. It is shown that the results obtained for separation distances larger than lambda /2 agree well with those obtained from the plane wave exposure case. Furthermore, the average SAR value calculated as a function of separation distance for the case where the magnetic dipole moment is aligned parallel to the major axis of the spheroid are found to oscillate around the constant value obtained from the H-polarized plane wave exposure case. On the other hand, the average SAR values for the E-polarization case (magnetic dipole is parallel to the spheroidal minor axis) are found to increase monotonically with the decrease in separation distance. It is also shown that despite the complicated nature of the near fields, the absorption characteristics can still be explained in terms of the variations of the incident radiation. These loop results, together with those obtained from other simple soures, can be used as building blocks in arriving at a qualitative understanding of the near-field absorption characteristics for more general exposure cases. 相似文献

The electromagnetic power deposition and transfer properties of a G1 continuous head model reconstructed from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data are investigated by using the coupled hp finite/infinite element (FE/IE) method. The discretization error is controlled by a self-adaptive process driven by an explicit a posteriori error estimate. Based on the benchmark problem of reproducing the Mie series solution, the scattering of a plane wave on the curvilinear head model is used to evaluate the hp FE/IE approach and calibrate the error bound. The radiation pattern from a short dipole antenna modeling a cell phone, is analyzed in terms of the level and distribution of the specific absorption rates (SAR). The numerical experiments show that the hybrid hp FE/IE implementation is a competitive tool for accurate assessment of human electromagnetic exposure. 相似文献

A novel handset antenna technique to solve the increasing demand of mobile bands, the loading effects (mismatching and efficiency losses) and the power absorption introduced by the head is analysed in terms of bandwidth, efficiency and SAR (specific absorption rate). The technique proposed integrates non-resonant elements and its results are compared with those obtained by a planar inverted-F antenna. The main antenna parameters (bandwidth, efficiency in free-space, efficiency regarding the human head presence and SAR) are compared in terms of electromagnetic simulation and measurements. The study concludes that the novel antenna architecture achieves multiband operation from 824–960 MHz and 1710–2170 MHz and become robust to human loading while occupying a reduced volume of just 250 mm3 in a typical handset phone. 相似文献

A specific anthropomorphic mannequin (SAM) model was used to investigate the relation between local specific absorption rate (SAR) and head size. The model was scaled to 80 to 100% sized models at intervals of 5%. We assumed that the shell of the SAM model has the same properties as the head‐equivalent tissue. Five handsets with a monopole antenna operating at 835 MHz were placed in the approximate cheek position against the scaled SAM models. The handsets had different antenna lengths, antenna positions, body sizes, and external materials. SAR distributions in the scaled SAM models were computed using the finite‐difference time‐domain method. We found that a larger head causes a distinct increase in the spatial peak 1‐voxel SAR, while head size did not significantly change the peak 1‐g averaged‐SAR and 10‐g averaged‐SAR values for the same power level delivered to the antenna. 相似文献

Experimental tests of specific absorption rate (SAR) reduction on a mobile phone have been performed. To protect a human head from exposure to electromagnetic fields and comply with exposure guidelines, the electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures are inserted in a commercial personal communication services (PCS) mobile phone. The measured results demonstrate the movement of a hot spot and the reduction of SAR in the human head. 相似文献

The spatial distribution of microwave energy absorbed per unit mass (the specific absorption rate or SAR) in biological tissue is calculated for a class of interstitial antennas. The insulated interstitial applicator is simulated as an asymmetrically drive antenna. An expression for the electric field intensity near the antenna is derived and calculated by direct numerical evaluation of a surface integral over the insulation. The predicted SAR patterns obtained using the calculated electric field intensity and the tissue conductivity agree very well with the measured SAR distributions around three different applicators in muscle-equivalent phantoms 相似文献

A numerical study is proposed to investigate the effects of different RF sources on the specific absorption rate (SAR) and maximum temperature increase in the human eye at different frequencies. In particular, a new model of the human head is presented and compared with an anatomical model of the visible human. The high resolution (0.5 mm) of the proposed model allows to consider more eye tissues than previous studies distinguishing the sclera from the retina and choroid. New values of blood perfusion and metabolic rate of these tissues are derived. A plane-wave field is considered as far-field exposure, while realistic models of mobile phone and dipole antennas are used as primary sources for near-field exposure. The obtained results show that the distributions of the SAR and temperature increase depend on the frequency, position, and kind of sources. Finally, attention is paid to the maximum temperature increase in the lens for the SAR values prescribed by the Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. To this aim, a scaling approach is proposed, and significant values of temperature increase are found (about C for general public exposure and about 1.5 degC for occupational exposure) for the most critical cases of near-field exposures. 相似文献

Temperature increase in the human head due to a dipole antenna at microwave frequencies 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The temperature increases in a human head due to electromagnetic (EM) wave exposure from a dipole antenna are investigated in the frequency range of 900 MHz to 2.45 GHz. The maximum temperature increases in the head and brain are compared with the values of 10/spl deg/C and 3.5/spl deg/C (found in literature pertaining to microwave-induced physiological damage). In particular, the estimation scheme for maximum temperature increases of the head and brain tissues is discussed in terms of a peak average specific absorption rate (SAR) as prescribed in safety standards. The rationale for this attempt is that maximum temperature increases and peak average SARs have not been well correlated yet. For this purpose, the SAR in the head model is initially calculated by the finite-difference time-domain method. The temperature increase in the model is then calculated by substituting the SAR into the bioheat equation. Numerical results demonstrate that the temperature increase distribution in the head is largely dependent on the frequency of EM waves. This is mainly because of the frequency dependency of the SAR distribution. Similarly, maximum temperature increases in the head and brain are significantly affected by the frequency and polarization of the EM wave. The maximum temperature increases in the head (excluding auricles) and brain are determined through linear extrapolation of the peak average SAR in these regions. According to this scheme, it is found that the peak SAR averaged over 1 g of tissue in the head should be approximately 65 W/kg to achieve the maximum temperature increase of 10/spl deg/C induced in the head excluding auricles. This corresponds to a factor of about 40 compared to the FCC standard. On the other hand, the peak SAR for 10 g of tissue should be around 40 W/kg, which implies a factor of about 20 compared to the ICNIRP standard. 相似文献

Temperature rises in the human head for portable telephones were computed with an anatomically based head model at 900 MHz and 1.5 GHz. The specific absorption rate (SAR) in the human head was determined using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, while a bioheat equation was numerically solved also using the FDTD method. The portable telephone was modeled by a quarter-wavelength monopole antenna on a dielectric covered metal box. The source geometries considered were the telephone barely touching the ear and the telephone pressing the ear, both having a vertical alignment at the side of the head. The antenna output power was set to be consistent with the portable telephones of today: 0.6 W at 900 MHz and 0.27 W at 1.5 GHz. Computed results show that a phone time of 6-7 min yields a temperature rise of approximately 90% of the steady-state value. Application of the ANSZ/IEEE safety guidelines restricting the 1-g-averaged spatial peak SAR to 1.6 W/kg results in the maximum temperature rise in the brain of 0.06°C, and application of the ICNIRP/Japan safety guidelines restricting the 10-g-averaged spatial peak SAR to 2 W/kg results in the maximum temperature rise in the brain of 0.11°C, both at 900 MHz and 1.5 GHz 相似文献
