Correlating Threshold Power With Free-Space Bandwidth for Low-Directivity Antennas

Abstract

Abstract-This paper develops a threshold power rationale that can be used to demonstrate inherent compliance for portable wireless devices with specific absorption rate (SAR) limits over the 300-6000-MHz frequency range. This is achieved first by understanding the relationship between basic antenna parameters (bandwidth, operating frequency, and distance to the body) and SAR. From this, an upper limit is determined for the power transmitted by a portable wireless device such that the SAR will not exceed the compliance limit. Based on the presented computational and measured data, an empirical formula is developed for the threshold power as a function of the aforementioned parameters. It is demonstrated that the derived threshold power is conservative for all of the lowdirectivity antennas studied. Computed results are also compared against practical device data (mobile telephone data collected from the manufacturers) to show that the predicted threshold power data using the proposed formula are conservative. The limitations of the proposed formula are also discussed.Index Terms-Antenna measurements, antennas, electromagnetic propagation in absorbing media, numerical analysis.

Low Profile ‘PIFA’ 4G Antenna

“…he planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) stays as one of the most mainstream antennas utilized in mobile phones today. It is widely utilized inferable from its little size, low profile, astounding execution, basic manufacture and generally low explicit assimilation rate (SAR) [1][2][3][4]. In any case, a traditional PIFA has an innate narrowband that must be improved so as to satisfy the inexorably bandwidth necessities forced by the new handsets.…”

Ultra-Wideband Planar Inverted-F Antenna (Pifa) for Mobile Phone Frequencies and Ultra-Wideband Applications

“…The planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) remains as one of the most popular antennas used in mobile phones today [1,2]. It is extensively employed owing to its small size, low profile, excellent performance, simple fabrication and relatively low specific absorption rate (SAR) [3,4]. However, a conventional PIFA has an inherent narrowband that has to be enhanced in order to fulfill the increasingly bandwidth requirements imposed by the new handsets.…”
