Methodology to interpolate and extrapolate SAR measurements in a volume in dosimetric experiment

There has been an explosive growth in the area of wireless communication. Over the world, hundreds of millions of subscribers are using mobile phones. International and national organizations have recommended limits for the protection of mobile phone users and standards are going to be established to certify the compliance of mobile phones with these limits. To ensure this conformity, numerical and experimental dosimetric analyzes are essential to evaluate the electric fields inside the user´s head. These fields can not be measured near the mobile phone- the phantom interferes where they are a maximum and the use of interpolation and extrapolation is then necessary to evaluate the electric field components. This paper describes the interpolation and extrapolation methodologies, of the experimental sampled data in three dimensions, of the power absorbed in the whole volume of the head phantom. A new method to interpolate and extrapolate SAR measurements is presented. This technique, which is very fast and not very expensive in terms of required memory, is compared with other interpolation techniques which use splines or wavelets
