Abstract

Overview

The rise of smartphone usage has fundamentally changed our methods of interaction, information access, and entertainment. However, concerns about the health implications of Radio Frequency (RF) radiation emitted from these devices are growing.

Findings

  • RF radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation used in wireless communications in devices such as smartphones.
  • The study provides a detailed analysis of RF radiation emissions from smartphones and their potential health risks.
  • It emphasizes the importance of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing, especially with the advent of 5G technology.

Conclusion

This research outlines the strategies to minimize exposure to RF radiation and discusses regulatory frameworks and testing methodologies related to SAR measurements in the context of 5G frequency bands.
