Abstract

In this project, a simulation model has been used to analyze reductions in radiation directed towards users of cellular phones with automatically changing output power. A copper shield has been used to reduce the radiation in the simulations. An algorithm adjusting the output power of the phone depending on the electric field value at the base station has been developed. Various locations for base stations have been applied and the results have been analyzed. Shielding effectiveness (SE) values have been computed by using electric field values which the user is exposed to (Test point). A program has been coded in Matlab programming language; this program uses two dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method with first order Mur’s absorbing boundary conditions. Also a graphical user interface (GUI) has been designed for easy usage.

Keywords: Cellular phone radiation shielding numerical computation FDTD.
