Abstract
The effects of the electromagnetic field in the radio-frequency band to cochlear implant are analyzed. This is presented by evaluating of the Specific Absorption Rate in the SAM head phantom with cochlear implant with and without hand model near the PIFA antenna in simulation software CST Studio Suite.
