Abstract
The widespread and prolonged use of smartphones in recent years has led to the exposure of the human body to signals in the radio frequency range. It raises many questions about the impact of these technologies on humans. The effect of radiation is assessed with the dosimetric parameter Specific Absorption Rate – SAR. To evaluate and visualize SAR in the depths of the human head, this article has created and verified a computer model using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The model takes into account the specific characteristics of the human head and the parameters of a working smartphone and has great opportunities for visualization of absorption processes. It is also suitable for studying the effects of radio waves on humans. With its help it is possible to assess and visualize the thermal effect in depth of the human head caused by the use of a smartphone.
