Abstract :
This paper presents an investigation of the SAR assessment of slot antennas. As a basic study, we have carried out FDTD simulations at 2GHz, using an EM-phantom model. Great emphasis is placed on a comparative investigation into the manner in which the SAR distribution of a magnetic slot antenna differs from that of an electric dipole antenna.
