  • Patent number: 10020564
    Abstract: As the technology relating to controlling electromagnetic waves radiating from the mobile phone such as smart phone during a phone call, wide band waveguide that controls electromagnetic waves radiating from mobile phone and radiating them towards hand was invented. Distance between mobile phone, waveguide and hand is 3 to 6% of the wavelength. Hence, design in near field condition was a problem. This problem was solved by measurement and wide band near field waveguide in which metal sheet is processed was realized. The quantity of electromagnetic waves received by head is reduced to ¼- 1/10 within the entire frequency band used by the mobile phone based on adding this part to the mobile phone such as smart phone.
