The document analyzes the biological effects of cell phone radiation on the human body using specific absorption rate (SAR) and thermoregulatory response. It performs SAR simulations for 13 tissues at 5 frequencies, calculating SAR and temperature rise at 42 scenarios. A complex 3D human body model is used in ANSYS HFSS to calculate SAR values. Theoretical SAR calculations are also performed and compared to FCC limits. SAR values are found for various head tissues at different frequencies, powers, and distances between the antenna and head.

Introduction
• Study and investigate the effect of Radiofrequency (RF) wave radiated from cellular
phone antennas to the human body.
• Perform Specific absorption rate (SAR) simulation for head and chest tissues at five
different frequencies which is 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 2.1 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 5.6 GHz ,
respectively.
• Analyze long term exposure effects of radiation by solving Pennes Bioheat equation
and create a rise of temperature database for human body tissues.

Novelty of the Proposed Work
• A new analytical method has been shown to solve Pennes Bioheat transfer equation
and temperature rise of tissues has been calculated at 42 different scenarios.
• A complex, multilayered, 3D ANSYS HFSS full human body model is used to calculate
SAR.
• Simulation studies carried out for 13 different human tissues at 6 different
frequencies
• During SAR simulation distance between human body parts to the antenna and also
antenna port power were varied.

Theory Review
How to calculate the radiation effects in human tissues?
• Specific absorption rate (SAR) : SAR is the measure of how much energy (in this case Radio Frequency energy) is
absorbed by the human body in a certain volume, over a certain period of time.
• SAR measures exposure to fields between 100 kHz and 10 GHz.
• SAR =

Theoretical SAR Calculation
Theoretical SAR Calculation for Skin tissue in GSM-850 Systems:
The maximum penetration depth of the skin tissue at 850 MHz is : 𝛿 = 0.041198 m = 41.198 mm
According to Federal Communications Commission (FCC), cellular devices authorized under 47 CFR section 15.247 operate with less power
which is in between 0.125 W to 1 W.
The power density produced by the mobile phone at the maximum penetration depth can be calculated by using the following equation:
𝑊 = where, 𝑃 = Radiated power = 0.125 w
=

( . )
𝐺 = Antenna Gain = 1
= 5.88 W/𝑚 d = separation between head and antenna = 0 m
The impedance of the human head tissues (η) can be determined by the formula:
ɳ = ɳ √∈
where, 𝜇 = relative permeability = 1
= 377* (1/41.676) ∈ = relative permittivity of skin = 41.676
= 58.39 (ohm)

Temperature Elevation in the Tissues
• Heat transfer is a very fundamental and important process in living things, especially in human bodies to
maintain an almost constant temperature.
• As for the function of heat transfer for systematic thermoregulation, blood is known to have a dual influence on
the thermal energy balance.

Analytical Solution of Pennes Bio Heat Transfer Equation
• In 1948 Pennes [31] states a model in which blood perfusion rate was a distribution of tangible heat transfer on a volume part
based on volumetric blood perfusion rate and temperature difference between arterial blood and passing blood in veins.
where,
ρ= mass density of the tissue (kg/m )
c= heat capacity of tissue (J/ (kg /˚C))
k= thermal conductivity of tissue (W/m/˚C)
Q= power generated per unit mass by metabolic processes
S= SAR due to EM fields radiation (W/kg)
ω= blood perfusion rate (ml/g/min)
𝜌 = blood mass density (kg/m )
𝑐 = blood heat capacity (J/ (kg /˚C))
(‘b’ for parameters of blood)
Tb = ambient temperature of the body= 36.6 ˚C
T = final temperature of the body (˚C)
35. 34/50
Analytical Solution of Pennes Bio Heat Transfer Equation
In the absence of metabolic process : )
The problem is to find the dependence of temperature T (t) as the function of time t > 0. We need to solve the heat equation:
μ = + 𝑞 − 𝜆 (𝑇 − 𝑇 ) (1)
where, μ = , q = and 𝜆 =
We are solving this equation for the fixed position, so T(x) = constant, i.e. = 0
Therefore we can rewrite the equation (1) in the following form:
= - A (𝑇 − 𝑇 ) (2)
where, A =
Thus we have the inhomogeneous first order differential equation:
+ AT = + A 𝑇 (3)
36. 35/50
Analytical Solution of Pennes Bio Heat Transfer Equation
Solution of equation (3)
Say, + A 𝑇 = D (4)
Therefore, + AT = D
⇒ = D-AT
⇒ 𝜕𝑇 = (D-AT) 𝜕𝑡
⇒ D−AT
= 𝜕𝑡 (5)
Integrate both side of equation (5)
⇒ - log (D-AT) = t + log 𝐶 [ log 𝐶 = integrate constant]
⇒ Log (D-AT) – log 𝐶 = -At
⇒ Log = -At
⇒ = 𝑒
⇒ D-AT = 𝐶 𝑒
⇒ AT = D- 𝐶 𝑒
⇒ T = D - 𝐶 𝑒
⇒ T = ( + A 𝑇 ) - 𝐶 𝑒 [replacing equation (4) ]
⇒ T = + 𝑇 - 𝐶 𝑒
The solution is: T (t) = 𝑇 + + 𝐶 𝑒
We use initial condition T (0) = 𝑇 to express the
unknown constant 𝐶 = -S/cA.
Finally we obtain:
T (t) = 𝑇 + - 𝑒
T (t) = 𝑇 + (1- 𝑒 )
Substituting A we come to final explicit expression of the T (t):
T (t) = 𝑻 𝒃 +

Conclusion
• In head tissues, in lower frequency (850 MHz, 900 MHz) and lower peak power (125 mW) and when there is no distance
between head and antenna, SAR values are lower than the FCC safety limit in all cases.
• In head tissues, in higher frequency (2.1 GHz, 2.6 GHz, 5.1 GHz, and 5.6 GHz) and 125 mW peak power and when there is no
distance between head and antenna, SAR values are higher in all tissues except fat tissues.
• There is an inversely proportional relationship between SAR and the distance between the body model and the excitation source.
• Maximum SAR values are found in CSF, dura,brain, skin and bone in 5600 frequency which is 19.84 W/kg, 15.76 W/kg, 13.72
W/kg, 12.84 W/kg, and 11.91 W/kg, respectively.
• Chest tissues have very low SAR value except the lung tissue. Maximum SAR value at lung tissue which was 2.72 W/kg.
• The peak temperature rise in the head tissues occurs at the 5.6 GHz frequency and 1 W power in CSF, dura, brain, skin, bone
which is 4.9 ˚C, 3.5 ˚C, 3.4 ˚C, 3.2 ˚C and 2.9 ˚C, respectively.
• Research shows that at temperatures above ~42.5 ˚C, central nervous system function can deteriorate and convulsions may
occur.

Future Work
• Thermal analysis can perform by using Ansoft WB Thermal software to get the
simulated temperature rise within the tissues and compare that simulated
results with analytical results.
• Pennes Bioheat equation can be solve without considering the fixed position.
