본 논문에서는 350 MHz와 900 MHz 평면파에 노출된 다양한 모델의 인체 두부 내 비흡수율(specific abs sorption rate, SAR)의 분포를 해석하였다. 해석 방법은 유한차분시간영역(finite-difference time-domain, FDTD) 방법이며, 인체 두부 모델로서 균질 매질의 구형모델, 균질의 실질적인 형태를 갖는 모텔 그리고 실질적인 형태를 갖는 비균질 모델이 사용된다. 입사 평면파의 편파는 인체 길이방향과 일치하며, 진행방향은 뒤에서 암으로, 그리고 앞에서 뒤로 향하는 두 가지 경우를 다룬다. 얻어진 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 세 가지 모델의 평균 SAR은 비슷하나 국부 SAR은 큰 차이가 있다. 2) 주파수가 900 MHz보다 두부의 공진이 일어나는 대역인 350 MHz에서 복사전력이 더 깊이 침투한다. 3) 후방입사 평변파의 경우에는 두부가 아닌 목 부근에서 "hot spot"이 일어난다. 4) 전방입사 평면파의 경우에는 900 MHz에서는 코, 350 MHz의 경우에는 입술 위와 턱 부분에 "hot spot"이 나타난다.

This paper describes an implementation method and the results of numerical mobile phone models representing real phone models that have been released on the Korean market since 2002. The aim is to estimate the electromagnetic absorption in the human brain for case-control studies to investigate health risks related to mobile phone use. Specific absorption rate (SAR) compliance test reports about commercial phone models were collected and classified in terms of elements such as the external body shape, the antenna, and the frequency band. The design criteria of a numerical phone model representing each type of phone group are as follows. The outer dimensions of the phone body are equal to the average dimensions of all commercial models with the same shape. The distance and direction of the maximum SAR from the earpiece and the area above -3 dB of the maximum SAR are fitted to achieve the average obtained by measuring the SAR distributions of the corresponding commercial models in a flat phantom. Spatial peak 1-g SAR values in the cheek and tilt positions against the specific anthropomorphic mannequin phantom agree with average data on all of the same type of commercial models. Second criterion was applied to only a few types of models because not many commercial models were available. The results show that, with the exception of one model, the implemented numerical phone models meet criteria within 30%.

Complex permittivities of human head simulating liquids were measured by a sample holder of terminated slotted coaxial line with a movable probe at mobile communication frequencies. The validity of the liquid measurement system was checked by experiments with the reference liquids. Liquids of ingredients for human brain suggested in IEEE draft and those made by the authors were measured by this slotted line system.

This paper presents an analysis of SAR(Specific Absorption Rate) distribution characteristics in a head model using FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain). In this study human head was modelled in four elements-layered structure, consisting of skin, fat, skull and brain. To calculate the electromagnetic fields wihtin the head model, FDTD method was used. In the FDTD method, the electromagnetic wave is analyzed by solving a Maxwell's equations repeatedly. For the calculation, distance between power source and head model increased by 10[m]. Power density and incident electric field intensity were calculated. Based on the incident electric field, the program which calaculated internal electric fields intensity and SAR calculation of the head model were developed. The results of developed program using FDTD were compared with those of a commericial programs, which showed the availability and usefulness of the suggested scheme in this paper.

전파기술의 진보에 따라 일상생활 주변에서 전자파가 인체에 미치는 영향과 안전노출 허용한계에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 비 흡수율( Specific Absorption Rate )은 일반적으로 전자파 흡수율로 정의되고 주로 100［KHz］에서 10［㎓］ 사이의 주파수 대역에서 전자파가 생체조직에 미치는 영향을 평가할 때 쓰이는 기본한계가 된다.(중략)

The specific anthropomorphic mannequin (SAM) phantom was designed to provide a conservative estimation of the actual peak spatial specific absorption rate (SAR) of the electromagnetic field radiated from mobile phones. However, most researches on the SAM phantom have been based on early phone models. Therefore, we numerically analyze the SAM phantom to determine whether it is sufficiently conservative for various types of mobile phone models. The peak spatial 1- and 10-g averaged SAR values of the SAM phantom are numerically compared with those of four anatomical head models at different ages for 12 different mobile phone models (a total of 240 different configurations of mobile phones, head models, frequencies, positions, and sides of the head). The results demonstrate that the SAM phantom provides a conservative estimation of the SAR for only mobile phones with an antenna on top of the phone body and does not ensure such estimation for other types of phones, including those equipped with integrated antennas in the microphone position, which currently occupy the largest market share.

To evaluation of clinical usefulness for B1+RMS limits, we compared image quality of Routine, Specific absorption rate (SAR) and Root mean square (RMS) protocol. 5 volunteers underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of the brain using three different protocols. We draw Region of interest ROI in cortex, white matter, gray matter, putamen and thalamus of axial plan. Signal to noise ratio (SNR) were evaluated in each area and Contrast to noise ration (CNR) were evaluated between white matter and gray matter. Qualitative evaluation was used to score each ROI. B1+RMS is confirmed its usefulness compared to conventional SAR standard on the aspect of improvement of image quality, reduction of scan time and easy adjusting parameter.

현재 helix와 monopole로 구성되는 안테나를 갖는 수납형 전화기(retractble phone)가 셀룰라 이동통신에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 안테나의 monopole의 길이가 약 $\lambda$/4이므로, 강한 복사 전기장이 전화기를 사용하는 인체 두부의 외이 주변에 주로 분포한다. 이러한 전기장 분포는 두부 내에 매우 높은 국부 SAR(specific abs$\alpha$ption rate)을 야기한다. 본 논문은 이동통신단말기의 안테나 배치가 반대인 전화기 형상에 대한 두부 내 전자파 흡수율을 기존의 단말기 형상의 것과 비교, 고찰한다. 이것은 단말기 옴체의 상부가 아닌 바닥 에 안테나를 배치하는 것이다. 인체와 단말기 모델을 포함하는 계산 공간의 시간-평균 전자기장 분포를 얻기 위해 시간영역 유한차분( FDTD) 기법을 사용하였다. 그리고 SAR 분포와 국부 SAR 값이 시간-명균 전기장 분포로부터 계산되었다. 실제 상황을 고려하기 위해 해부학적 인체 두부 모델과 근사된 사용자 손이 고려되었 다. 분석된 데이터는 안테나의 이 같은 배치가 인체 두부 내에 국부 SAR을 상당히 감소시킴을 보인다.

During hyperthermia therapy, cancer cells are heated to a temperature in the range of $40{\sim}45^{\circ}C$ for a defined time period to damage these cells while keeping healthy tissues at safe temperatures. Prior to hyperthermia therapy, the amount of heat energy transferred to the cancer cells must be predicted. Among various non-invasive methods, the thermal prediction method using the specific absorption rate (SAR) is the most widely used method. The existing methods predict the thermal distribution by using a single constant for the mass density in one organ through assignment. However, because the SAR and the bio heat equation (BHE) vary with the mass density, the mass density of each organ must be accurately considered. In this study, the mass density distribution was calculated using the relationship between the Hounsfield unit and the mass density of tissues in preceding research. The SAR distribution was found using a quasi-static approximation to Maxwell's equation and was used to calculate the potential distribution and the energy distributions for capacitive RF heating. The thermal distribution during exposure to RF waves was determined by solving the BHE with consideration given to the considering contributions of heat conduction and external heating. Compared with reference data for the mass density, our results was within 1%. When the reconstructed temperature distribution was compared to the measured temperature distribution, the difference was within 3%. In this study, the density distribution and the thermal distribution were reconstructed for the agar phantom. Based on these data, we developed an algorithm that could be applied to patients.

본 논문에서는 WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) 대역의 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz와 5G 대역의 3.5 GHz에서 사용가능한 3중 대역 모노폴 안테나를 설계하였으며, 제안된 안테나의 크기는 $100{\times}75{\times}1.6mm^3$로 기생소자를 사용하여 3중 대역 모노폴 안테나를 구현하였다. 또한 제안된 안테나로부터 ${\lambda}/4$ 떨어진 거리에 반사판을 설치함으로써 각 동작주파수들에서의 이득 향상과 SAR(Specific Absorption Rate)을 저감시켰다. 제작한 안테나를 측정한 결과, 반사 계수 -10 dB 이하 기준으로 540 MHz(2.02~2.56 GHz), 390 MHz(3.39~3.78 GHz) 그리고 1,210 MHz(5.56~6.77 GHz)에 해당하는 대역폭을 얻었다. 국제기준에서 요구하는 SAR 기준대비 2.4 GHz에서는 85.12 % 감소했고, 3.5 GHz에서는 50.06 %, 5.8 GHz에서는 36.87 % 감소하였다. 그러므로 제안된 안테나는 국제기준 SAR을 만족하며, WLAN과 5G 대역의 통신에서 사용할 수 있다.
