Construction of a realistic computational smartphone model for SAR evaluations

In recent years, electromagnetic (EM) applications have become common, and the opportunities of using the devices emitting EM waves have become increasing. Therefore, influences for the human body exposed to EM waves have been investigated and reported. However, there are few studies about EM exposure due to novel mobile phones such as smartphones. In this study, we developed the realistic computational smartphone model for the EM wave source. Furthermore, we estimated specific absorption rate (SAR) for the human body from the smartphone model placed in front of the abdomen.
