Abstract
Recently, electromagnetic interference (EMI) of an implanted pacemaker induced by a mobile radio terminal has been investigated. However, there are few studies of specific absorption rate (SAR) around the pacemaker induced by the mobile radio terminal. In this paper, the relation between position of pacemaker model embedded into the torso model, wireless radio terminal model and SAR has been investigated. As a result of calculations, possibilities of increasing the SAR were observed in some cases.
