Abstract

An Analysis of Radio Frequency Radiation Emitted by Smartphones Manoharan S, Mahalakshmi B, Ananthi K, Sindhu MP. An Analysis of Radio Frequency Radiation Emitted by Smartphones. 2024 8th International Conference on I-SMAC (IoT in Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud) (I-SMAC), Kirtipur, Nepal, 2024, pp. 301-307, doi: 10.1109/I-SMAC61858.2024.10714888. Abstract The introduction of smartphones has transformed how we interact, access information, and entertains ourselves. Nevertheless, as the usage of smartphones continues to rise, there has been greater concern over the possible health implications of Radio Frequency radiation released by these devices. RF radiation, also known as radiofrequency radiation, is a kind of electromagnetic radiation utilized for wireless communication in devices like smartphones. This study seeks to offer a thorough analysis of RF radiation and its emissions from smartphones, as well as the potential health implications associated with their use and strategies to minimize exposure. This research study also explores the importance of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing in the context of 5G technologies, including testing methodologies, regulatory frameworks, and the implications of 5G frequency bands on SAR measurements. ieeexplore.ieee.org
