Conclusion
Radiofrequency dosimetry (SAR)

In this article, the measurement of the specific absorption rate in a normative context is presented. The societal impact of new telecommunications technologies has led governments to legislate exposure limits to electromagnetic fields to protect against their potential harmful effects on the health of workers and the general public. International standards have been established to verify compliance with these limits, and to demonstrate the conformity of communication devices such as cell phones, which are intended for use close to the human body.

SAR measurement was introduced as the electromagnetic quantity at the basis of radiofrequency dosimetry, expressing the power absorbed by biological tissues when exposed to electromagnetic fields and depending on the distribution of electromagnetic fields within the tissue and its dielectric properties. Measurement of...
