Smartphone Radiation is the amount of energy that’s been absorbed by our body from the electromagnetic waves that our phone is firing. It is measured in terms of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). SAR is the rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to radiation. It is defined as the power absorbed per mass of tissue and has a unit of W/k g . Let’s keep it simple. Every phone emits a certain amount of radiation and SAR is the measure of that radiation. SAR Limit: In India and the USA, the SAR limit for mobile phones is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue. But in Europe, they have a SAR limit of 2.0 W/kg. A phone with a higher SAR value(more than 1.6 W/kg) is not allowed to be sold in the market. Tests for SAR: Tests for SAR will are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Then the SAR values for head and body will be ...
