Abstract

The near field radiated from the monopole antenna of the cellular phone was calculated by using the modified finite difference time domain algorithm derived from the integral form of Maxwell's equations. Substituting the near field value into the differential form of Maxwell's equations, SAR's distribution in the human head was obtained. The human head was simulated by a model of 800,000 block cells with dielectric constant and conductivity. The cell size was taken to be 0.5 cm. the transmitted power of the cellular phone was assumed to be 0.6 watts at the frequency of 833 MHz. The distance between the head and the cellular phone was 2.0 cm, the maximum SAR induced in the human head was about 1.5 W/kg and was below the IEEE's upper safety limit of 1.6 W/kg.

모노폴 안테나를 갖는 휴대폰의 근거리 전자계블 맥스웰 방정식의 적분형을 이용한 FDTD 수식으로부터 계산 하였다. 이 전자계 값을 기존의 맥스웰 방정식의 미분형인 FDTD 수식에 대입하여 頭部의 전자파 노출 부위에 따른 SAR 분포플 계산하였다. 頭部는 유전율과 도전율이 같은 각 부분을 5 mm 크기인 80,000 개의 정육면체 셀로 분할하였고 휴대폰의 입력 전력은 0.6 W 이며 동작 주파수는 833 MHz로 하였다. 안테나로부터 2cm 떨어진 거리에서 頭部모형내 유기되는 최대 SAR 값은 1.5 [W/kg] 이었으며 이 값은 IEEE 의 안전기준인 1.6 L [W /kg] 이하임을 알 수 있다.
