The effects of using mobile phone inside both fully and partially enclosed metallic elevators on the antenna performance and the human exposure have been studied by using FDTD numerical method. It has been found that the antenna performance is degraded in all the enclosed metallic elevators studied due to the low radiation efficiency. Results have also shown that, for the human exposure, the electric field strength and the peak SAR of mobile phone user in the fully enclosed metallic elevator is the largest due to the resonance effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
