초록

한국전파법에서 휴대전화에만 적용되었던 전자파흡수율(SAR: Specific Absorption Rate) 측정 대상기기가 2012년 1월 이후 인체로부터 20 cm 이내에 위치하는 휴대용 송신 무선통신기기로 확대됨에 따라 150 MHz 대역의 무전기가 포함되어 이에 대한 SAR 적합성 평가를 위한 SAR 측정방법이 필요하다. 그러나 현재 SAR 측정방법에 대한 국제표준(IEC 62209-2)에서는 300 MHz 대역 이상의 주파수에 대해서 적용하고 있으며, 상용 SAR 측정시스템에서도 300 MHz 대역 이상의 주파수에 대해서만 측정이 가능하도록 되어 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 150 MHz 대역의 SAR 측정 유효성 평가를 위한 기준 다이폴 안테나(복사체 길이: 760 mm, 반사 손실 : -25.48 dB) 및 평면형 모의인체의 크기($1,300 mm(L){\times}900 mm(W){\times}200 mm(H)$), 수치해석 SAR 목표값(1 g: 1.08 W/kg, 10 g: 0.77 W/kg)을 제시하였다. 제시된 기준 다이폴 안테나 및 평면형 모의인체를 제작하여 상용 SAR 측정시스템의 적합성 여부를 확인하였다. 측정된 1 g 및 10 g SAR 값은 각각 1.13 W/kg, 0.81 W/kg으로, IEC 국제 표준의 유효 범위인 ${\pm}10$ % 이내를 만족하였다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 규격들은 국내 SAR 측정방법 및 IEC 국제 표준으로 반영될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

SAR measurement which was applied only to the mobile phone has been expanded in the Korean radio regulation law to the portable wireless communication equipments within 20 cm from the human body since Jan. 2012. The two-way radio operating at 150 MHz frequency band was newly included following the revised radio regulation in the target equipment of measurement. SAR measurement system at 150 MHz satisfying this regulation is necessary accordingly for SAR conformity assessment. The international SAR measurement standard(IEC 62209-2) includes the evaluation method on frequencies above 300 MHz, and the commercial SAR measurement system can measure SAR above 300 MHz only. The size of the reference dipole antenna(760 mm, return loss: -27.57 dB) and flat phantom ($1,300 mm(L){\times}900 mm(W){\times}200 mm(H)$), targeted SAR values for numerical analysis(1 g: 1.08 W/kg, 10 g: 0.77 W/kg) for SAR validation evaluation at 150 MHz frequency are proposed in this paper. The suggested dipole antenna and flat phantom are assembled and used to verify the conformity assessment of commercial SAR measurement system. The measured SAR values of 1 g and 10 g were obtained respectively to be 1.13 W/kg, 0.81 W/kg, and they satisfied the effective range(within ${\pm}10$ %) of IEC international standard. The standards based on this study are expected to be used for the domestic SAR measurement standard and IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) international standard.
