Abstract :
This paper presents the effects of wearing rings and earrings on the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) distribution due to mobile phone exposure using the inhomogeneous human model HUGO. The human model is postured in talk position and exported using the “BodyFlex” software program. To analyze the SAR distribution, the head and the hand of the human model are included in the simulations. The results show that, in some cases, the presence of the earring and the ring have a noticeable impact on the maximum calculated SAR value and also on the SAR distribution.
