Dipole Antenna Exposure & SAR ============================== * A half-wave dipole radiating next to a layered head phantom (skin, headbone, brain), used to calculate the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and the antenna's power budget. Introduction ------------- **This tutorial covers:** * Setup of a layered ellipsoidal head phantom (skin, headbone, brain) * Disabling cell-averaging (``CellConstantMaterial``) as required for SAR averaging per IEC/IEEE 62704-1 * Recording a SAR field dump and computing the 10g-averaged SAR * Calculating the antenna's power budget: accepted, radiated (via NF2FF) and absorbed power Python Script ------------- Get the latest version `from git `_. .. include:: ./__Dipole_SAR.txt Images ------------- .. figure:: images/Dipole_SAR.png :width: 80% :alt: 3D view of the dipole near head phantom 3D view of the half-wave dipole next to the layered head phantom (AppCSXCAD) .. figure:: images/Dipole_SAR_SPara.png :width: 80% :alt: S-Parameter S-Parameter and input impedance of the dipole antenna .. figure:: images/Dipole_SAR_Result.png :width: 80% :alt: 10g averaged SAR 10g averaged SAR distribution on the xy- and xz-plane
