Abstract

Overview

The series of IEC/IEEE International Standards focus on outlining methodologies and requirements for determining the peak spatial-average specific absorption rate (SAR) in the human body from wireless communication devices ranging from 30 MHz to 6 GHz using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method.

General Requirements

• Part 1 details general requirements for using FDTD for SAR calculations.
• Part 2 specifies requirements for FDTD modeling of exposure from vehicle-mounted antennas.
• Part 3 discusses specific requirements for SAR calculations of mobile phones.

Importance of Standards

This standard series is critical in maintaining public health by ensuring the safety limits of electromagnetic field exposure from wireless devices are not exceeded.

Conclusion

This collection of standards plays a key role in providing regulatory foundations for assessing the risk and ensuring safety in the use of wireless communication devices.
