Standardization of SAR simulation techniques for RF exposure compliance in and around vehicles

The ongoing standardization efforts concerning SAR simulation techniques applied to RF exposure of vehicle passengers and bystanders are examined and the predicted timelines and expected outcomes of this standardization activities are illustrated. Numerical modeling procedures yielding localized and whole-body SAR based on simulations of the human body exposure to RF energy emitted by mobile radios with vehicle-mount antennas are being developed jointly by the IEC and the IEEE to provide a robust methodology for evaluating the compliance of vehicle-mount transmitters with respect to national and international RF energy exposure standards.
