Averaged SAR distributions and temperature rise estimatton in child head model with 835MHZ handset phone

The Brooks visible Human model downscaled to a 10 years old child size, exposed to a mobile Phone operating at 835 MHz is studied. Using a custom program, based on the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, point SAR as well as 1g and lOg averaged SAR values are compared to the results obtained using a commercial FDTD program. Temperature rise in the child head model under analysis for 0.6W output power is investigated using the Bio Heat equation.
