  • Abstract
    Is wireless communication dangerous? In recent years some scientists and lay people have expressed alarm at the possible harm mobile phones could cause to the user´s health, even cancer. Handset terminals must meet standard limits based in SAR measurements. In this paper we present several proposals to minimize SAR values computed over a numerical user´s head model using absorbent materials and new generation antennas.
