Near-field radiofrequency electromagnetic exposure assessment
This paper presents a near-field RF exposure assessment method comparing standard SAR estimation from E-field measurements in tissue-simulating liquid with a proposed approach based on incident H-field measurements. Experiments were conducted at 900, 1800, and 2450 MHz using dipole antennas and a flat phantom, with results compared across source-to-phantom distances and against FDTD simulations. The authors report a near-field region where the two SAR estimation methods show the smallest deviation, supporting use of H-field measurements for SAR assessment in that region.
Key points
- The work focuses on near-field RF exposure assessment for sources operated close to the body.
- SAR in tissue-simulating liquid phantoms is the primary metric used for absorbed energy distribution assessment.
- Measurements were performed at 900, 1800, and 2450 MHz using half-wave dipole antennas and a flat phantom.
- Two SAR estimation approaches were compared: standard E-field-based and a proposed incident H-field-based method.
- The deviation between SAR estimates was evaluated as a function of distance between the source and phantom.
- Experimental results were compared with finite-difference time-domain simulation results.
- The study identifies a near-field region with minimal deviation between methods, proposed as suitable for H-field-based SAR assessment.
