This paper introduces an efficient procedure for the evaluation of the true exposure level, quantified by the peak averaged specific absorption rate (SAR), of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication devices operating transmission diversity. As compared to the traditional conservative evaluation of the SAR, that results from the unpractical testing of all the antenna-array states of the device, the assessment of the true exposure level enables higher margin for minimizing the SAR while maximizing the radiation performance of the device.
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.
