Abstract :
A mobile phone can emit a few watts of power in the vicinity of the human head. The paper reviews the different types of mobile phones, the related exposures, the assumed biological effects as well as the health safety recommendations and test methods. An isotropic E-field probe suitable for phantom measurement is also described
