Why Your Phone’s Antenna Design Matters More Than You Think

from The Healthier Tech Podcast · host Shield Your Body®

New research reveals that the design of your device's antenna has a bigger impact on facial radiation exposure than the measurement method used to assess it. An international research team studied how different methods measure power absorption and temperature rise in human face models exposed to ten and thirty gigahertz antenna radiation. They discovered that antenna design creates more variation in exposure patterns than previously thought, with important implications as five G networks expand into these higher frequencies. In This Episode How antenna design affects radiation absorption patterns in facial tissue Why power absorption correlates with temperature rise at high frequencies What this means for five G device safety assessments Featured Study Read the full study: Li K, Kodera S, Poljak D, Prokop A, Diao Y, Zhang S, Yao M, Li C, Wu T, Liebig T, Simon W, Škiljo M, Hirata A See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research
