Safety Assessment and Uncertainty Quantification of Electromagnetic Radiation from Mobile Phones to the Human Head

With the rapid development of the mobile communication technology, the design of mobile phones has become more complex, and research on the electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones that reaches the human head has become important. Therefore, first of all, a model of mobile phone daily use was established. Then, based on the established simulation model, the safety of human head exposure to mobile phones was evaluated. The generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) method was used to establish a proxy model of the specific absorption rate (SAR) of the human head at different frequencies to perform a parameter uncertainty quantification (UQ). Finally, the Sobol method was used to quantify the influence of relevant variables on the SAR. The simulation results showed that the gPC method can save time and cost while ensuring accuracy, and the SAR value is greatly influenced by the electromagnetic materials of the mobile phone shell. Combined with the above analysis, this paper can provide reasonable suggestions for the design of mobile phone electromagnetic materials.
