The numerical and experimental results compare well and confirm that the applied SAR assessment methods constitute a conservative approach.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

The study aimed to investigate a numerical and experimental comparison of human head phantoms for compliance testing of mobile telephone equipment. The phantom was compared to a homogeneous Generic Head Phantom and three high-resolution anatomical head models for SAR assessment. Head phantoms were exposed to a generic mobile phone with different antenna types and a commercial mobile phone at 900 and 1800 MHz, and average peak SAR was measured experimentally and numerically.

Why This Matters

The numerical and experimental results compare well. The applied SAR assessment methods constitute a conservative approach.
