Effect of tongue jewellery and orthodontist metallic braces on the SAR due to mobile phones in different anatomical human head models including children
This paper has used the Finite-difference Time-domain (FDTD) computer simulation technique to
investigate Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) in different human head models with metallic jewellery. A dipole
excitation has been placed in front of the nose of 4 anatomical heads including a 5 year old and a 12 year old
child’s head. Metallic tongue jewellery and orthodontist metallic braces were added to the models and the SAR
was investigated over a range of communication frequencies.
