  • Abstract
    A review on biological effects of low power radiation on humans and animals is presented. Effects of electromagnetic coupling between the cellular/PCS phone antenna and the human head model have been described. Theoretical plots of the near-field patterns are shown for the human brain. An Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones (IEGMP) of the UK discourages the use of mobile phones by children
