Abstract:
With the increasing usage of wireless devices in households, the magnitude of
exposure is explored when multiple such devices are used simultaneously. Out of
many wireless devices found in a typical house, the study is limited to three common
applications: Mobile Communication (GSM 900 MHz, GSM 1800 MHz and WCDMA
2100 MHz), Wi-Fi Communication (2400 MHz) and Cordless System Communication
(1900 MHz).
The necessary data samples were collected from a household environment and SAR
calculations were performed. An indoor wireless propagation simulation was carried
out to visualize the existing radio environment under wireless transmission. It is shown
that effects of simultaneous exposure can increase the level of harmfulness.
