Virtually everyone uses a mobile phone as an indispensable tool in the modern world. When buying a new phone, we can check the specifications for information about SAR value. SAR stands for specific absorption rate, describing the amount of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation reaching the body from a mobile phone. A special laboratory uses a robot and a human model to measure the amount of radiation received from a phone. Various phones have various SAR values, but all can be sold on the market if they don’t exceed the set limit.
This diploma thesis compares the SAR value of popular mobile phones on the Slovenian market. I use several parameters to analyse and compare different brands and models of mobile phones, while also checking if the phones comply with the restrictions.
As the market of modern mobile phones offers a wide variety of brands and models, I aim to analyse the most popular and widely used. I also present the theoretical background of electromagnetic radiation and the specifics of the SAR values and testing, which are applicable to all mobile phones.
