Abstract
The increased amount of electromagnetic radiation in the environment has increased the common concern over the possible health risks of wireless devices (e.g. mobile phone ). However, to minimize the amount of energy absorbed by the user is an advantageous from the technical point of view, as well. The reduction of power absorbed by the user not only reduces any possible health hazards but also makes the antenna more efficient. In this master’s thesis, interaction between modern mobile phone antennas and user is studied by using numerical full-wave EM methods. The thesis aims at improving, understanding how mobile terminal antennas behave in the vicinity of the user and how different numerical EM methods can be used to solve the interaction problem. The results give valuable information for antenna designers in order to design antennas which have low interaction with the user as possible. Furthermore this master’s thesis introduces a simple optimization technique to enhance the performance of planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) one of common modern mobile phone antenna in vicinity of user and reduce its effect on health.
