Abstract :
The effects of hand phantom on mobile phone antenna performance were investigated in this paper. The studied parameters of hand phantom include homogeneity of hand phantom, dielectric properties of hand phantom material, hand and wrist size, and different use patterns. The study confirms that positioning of the mobile phone in the hand phantom is the largest hand-related uncertainty component for OTA performance testing.
