Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed damage patterns of a folder type mobile phone caused by microwave-irradiation, to find an accurate fire cause and to investigate deliberate broken of mobile phone for obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception. In order to analyze broken patterns, we irradiated a mobile phone with microwave using by 2.45 GHz microwave oven. Form the experiment results, damage patterns of mobile phone have been tendency toward heavy broken patterns depending on time of microwave-irradiated. Distinctively, folder hinge and intenna(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) were heavy broken in compare with battery, enclosure and so on. The enclosure of mobile phone became just thermo-metamorphism and the battery was not broken such as explosion.

본 연구에서는 정확한 화재원인 분석 및 사기범죄 여부 확인을 위하여 극초단파를 직접 폴더형 휴대전화에 조사하고, 이때 발생되는 휴대전화의 손상형태를 분석하였다. 극초단파 조사를 위하여 전자레인지를 이용하였으며, 전자레인지의 마그네트론에서 발생되는 2.45 GHz의 극초단파가 휴대전화에 인가될 때 휴대전화의 손상형태를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 휴대전화에 극초단파를 조사하는 경우, 조사 시간이 길어짐에 따라 심하게 손상되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 특히, 폴더의 힌지 부분 및 인테나 부분과 같이 금속이 설치되는 부분이 심하게 열변형되는 결과를 나타내었다. 휴대전화의 배터리 부분은 외함이 열변형되는 것 이외에 배터리의 손상이나 폭발 등은 발생되지 않는 것으로 평가되었다.
