A Study of SAR on Child Passengers and Driver Due to Cellphone Connectivity within Vehicle
Keywords:
Cellphone, in-vehicle connectivity, RF, SAR, specific absorption rateAbstract
In this work, SAR values in passenger and driver head and body regions due to the presence of one or more cellphones were determined via simulation for the situation in which all vehicle passengers are children. Additionally, the adult driver has access to a hands free cellphone as part of increased in-vehicle connectivity. The FEKO tool, using the Method of Moments, was utilized for simulations.
