Study Type		Engineering & Physics
Model		900, 1800 MHz (GSM) exposure to mobile phone users and analysis of nine different products marketed as shielding devices
Details		Nine small radiation shields were analyzed for their effectiveness to limit RF absorption to the head from 914 and 1880 MHz from mobile phones during use. Each shield was tested on the same mobile phone, and measurements were made to compare the absorption of RF energy in a phantom head model with and without each shield attached to the phone. The location and magnitude of the peak SAR was not affected with any of the shields attached to the phone. The authors concluded that the small shields were ineffective in reducing RF exposure to the head during mobile phone use.
