Abstract
Radiation hazard problem, which creates multiple adverse effects on human body, is mainly because of antenna technology; this paper explains these different effects by calculating specific absorption rate (SAR) of these radiations in different people exposed to radio frequency (RF), electromagnetic (EM) and microwave radiations from handheld and antennas devices. The effects of antennas were investigated by varying the distances between the antennas and the human head. Discussions with multiple groups of people were held and the data investigated. This paper suggests the ways to minimize the effects of SAR. It is recommended that these techniques will reduce the health risks from handheld devices.
