Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for reducing specific absorption rate (SAR) for an antenna are disclosed. An example method includes determining a location of a hotspot on a surface of the antenna, the hotspot comprising an area of increased SAR above a predetermined limit. The method further includes introducing a recess in the surface of the antenna at a recess location, the recess location based on the location and frequency characteristics of the hotspot. Example systems and devices include a surface forming an antenna structure and a recess in the surface of the antenna at a recess location, wherein the recess location would be a hotspot when the surface of the antenna is not recessed, the hotspot comprising an area of increased SAR above a predetermined limit.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of a mobile communication device employs a sensor assembly for sensing when the mobile communication device is in proximity to a body such as a human body, animal body, or the like. The average power of the radio frequency electromagnetic energy radiated by the mobile communication device may then be reduced only when necessary so that the SAR value for the device is maintained below a predetermined acceptable level.

Abstract: A modal antenna is proposed that provides for dynamic tuning and optimization of antenna system parameters for SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) management in mobile wireless devices. A modular approach is described where the radiator and active components are integrated into a module, allowing the fixed radiator to be used across multiple wireless products and form factors. Multiple radiation modes can be generated by a single antenna structure with one or several of the modes designed to minimize SAR while maintaining efficient communication link performance. Proximity sensors or other sensors provide indicators to determine when mode selection is necessary.

Accordingly, the SAR can be decreased and the antenna size can be miniaturized.

Abstract: A communication device and method mitigates specific absorption rate (SAR) exposure of a user. A radio frequency (RF) transmitter amplifies outgoing communication signals to a total radiated power (TRP) level. A matching network electrically connected to the RF transmitter receives the outgoing communication signals. The matching network divides the TRP level of received, outgoing communication signals to a first power level at a first network output and to a second power level at a second network output. First and second antennas electrically connected respectively to the first and second network output radiate the divided, outgoing communication signals at the first and second power levels. A SAR controller communicatively connected to the matching network controls the matching network to shift transmit power between the first and second antennas while maintaining TRP level to reduce SAR exposure of the user.

Distributed reactance can be designed into the conductive element to replace or to work in conjunction with the lumped reactance. Active components can be designed into the conductive element to provide dynamic tuning of the frequency response of the conductive element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable communication terminal having an antenna structure capable of achieving a reduction in specific absorption rate (SAR) without preventing earth current from flowing through a PCB of the terminal. A sleeve antenna is arranged opposite to a speaker mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB) in the body of the terminal.

The dielectric sleeve is mounted to a tip of the coaxial cable. The coaxial cable has an outer conductor connected to the inner peripheral conductor of the dielectric sleeve, and a central conductor connected to the feeding point of the antenna element. In accordance with this configuration, there is no antenna current flowing through the PCB. The PCB also serves as an electromagnetic shield plate. Accordingly, a reduction in SAR is achieved.
