Abstract :
We investigated the correlation between the peak SAR and the maximum temperature increase in the models of infants and adults for exposure to a dipole antenna. Numerical results show that the maximum temperature increases in the head and brain were reasonably proportional to the peak SAR in the corresponding regions. No clear difference in the correlation between the peak SAR and the maximum temperature increase was observed for infant and adult models. Additionally, the effect of the material constants on the correlation was at most 10%.
