Technical professional association IEEE, US, has announced three new standards projects that will address making spatial-peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) calculations for humans exposed to vehicle-mounted antennas and mobile phones. The IEEE Standards Association's Standards Board has approved the projects for the creation of the three standards for using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique in determining the peak SAR in people from wireless communications devices.
The benefits include standardised and accepted protocols and standardised anatomical models, validation techniques, benchmark data, reporting format and means for estimating the overall uncertainty in order to produce valid and repeatable and reproducible data.
When completed, IEEE P62704-1 will describe the concepts, anatomical models for compliance assessments, techniques, validation procedures, uncertainties and limitations of the FDTD technique when used for determining the spatial-peak SAR in standardised human anatomical models exposed to wireless communication devices. While IEEE P62704-2 will examine exposure to vehicle-mounted antennas, IEEE P62704-3 will apply to exposure to personal wireless devices such as mobile phones.
