EN50360/1 Measurement of SAR related to human exposure to EM fields from mobile phones (300 MHz - 3 GHz) Group 4A member: Eric(92850219) Sam(50255035) Wilbur (97070763)
Celluar phoneHealth concern • Brain cancer? • Affect memory? • Affect human analysis ability?
What is SAR?? • SAR - Specific Absorption Rate • It is an indication of the amount of radiation that is absorbed into a head whilst using a cellular phone • A SAR value is a measure of the maximum energy absorbed by a unit of mass of exposed tissue. • Units = watts per kilogram (W/kg)
Definition of SAR • Definition of SAR: • Ei : rms value of the electric field strength in the tissue in V/m • σ : Conductivity of body tissue in Kg/m3 • Ci : heat capacity of body tissue in J/Kg K • : derivative of temperature in body tissue in K/s
Preparation - Laboratory • 15˚c - 30˚c ±2˚c • No interact with local network • Be aware of ambient EM sources • Be aware of reflection from environment • Validation • At least once a year
Preparation - Mobile • battery must be Fully charged • So that, the worst case (maximum power) obtained • At least 50cm between emulator antenna and the mobile • 1‰ or less power from the antenna with respect to the mobile
GPIB to grab the data from the DVM Position Controller Serial Ports: COM1, COM2, COM3 3 channels DVM with DAQ card x y z Amplifier Indication Board Right head Flat phantom Left head Hardware System Overview Change 2x9V batteries every 16 hours
Tests to be performed • Cheek and tilted • Left and right sides of the head • Center frequency of each band • Retractable antenna • Extended • Retracted • Multi-mode/multi-band • Performed in each mode with max power
Test Setup • Mobile phone operating at the maximum power level • Phone holder described positions at a shell phantom of a human being
Test Setup • Probes with high sensitivity and low field disturbance are used • Move along X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis
Test setup • Electric field strength E is measured in the tissue simulating liquid • Tissue simulation liquid: • Dielectric properties • 900MHz: 64.81% 1,2-propanediol; 34.4% de-ionized water; 0.79 NaCl salt
Phantom Requirements • The phantom is a simplified representation of the human anatomy and comprised of material with electrical properties similar to the corresponding tissues. The physical characteristics of the phantom model shall resemble the head and the neck of a user since the shape is a dominant parameter for exposure.
Phantom Requirements • Shape is a dominant parameter for exposure. • 90% large adult male study by anthropomorphic study in 1989 • Fill with tissue simulating liquid through head to neck
Validation • Simplified performance checking • Phantom setup • Dipole source • Dipole input power measurement • System check procedure • System validation • known SAR values of selected mobile
Validation Test installation (Use flat phantom) Flat Phantom For SAM Profiler, 250mW output will give 2.5mW/g. 11mm 250mW=24dBm Directional Coupler Amplifier Signal Generator Checked the reflected power
SAM Profiler is used to control the Scan Profiler.The interface is shown below:
Definition of SAR • Definition of SAR: • Ei : rms value of the electric field strength in the tissue in V/m • σ : Conductivity of body tissue in Kg/m3 • Ci : heat capacity of body tissue in J/Kg K • : derivative of temperature in body tissue in K/s
QuantizationHaving in mind a worst case consideration, the SAR limit is valid for uncontrolled environment mobile respectively portable transmitters.
