A Numerical Parametric Study of SAR from a Dual-Band PIFA Based Antenna for Mobile Communication

10th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ELECO) -- NOV 30-DEC 02, 2017 -- Bursa, TURKEYWOS: 000426978800176Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) analysis is a vital part of compliance tests for commercial mobile phones performed in accordance with the set of comprehensive standardized practices provided by authoritative bodies. Dependence of SAR on a variety of parameters, with the structure of the handset pronounced the most, calls for bringing in the SAR analysis of various types of phones into the field of study for reference. This paper focuses on the SAR analysis of a PIFA based mobile phone antenna when operated next to standardized and anatomically correct head models. The effect of averaging method used, positioning of the phone, frequency of operation, and the presence of a homogeneous hand model on SAR is investigated along with the antenna performance in terms of terminal and radiational characteristics.Chamber Elect Engineers Bursa Branch, Uludag Univ, Fac Engn, Dept Elect & Elect Engn, Istanbul Tech Univ, Fac Elect & Elect Engn, Sci & Technolog Res Council Turkey, IEEE Turkey SectScientific and Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [1005.STZ.2015, TEYDEB 3151039]; Vestel Electronics Inc.This work is partly funded by The Scientific and Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) under grant numbers: 1005.STZ.2015, TEYDEB 3151039, and Vestel Electronics Inc
