Abstract
Multi-antenna enabled terminal devices are required to comply with the standards for limiting human exposure to electric fields. However, when compared to traditional single-antenna terminals, a comprehensive evaluation of specific absorption rate (SAR) for multi-antenna terminals is impractical. This is because both the power allocation and phase of the electric fields from different antennas are arbitrary in practical MIMO operation, hence requiring exhaustive evaluation over all possible cases. In this context, this paper first proposes time averaged simultaneous peak SAR (TASPS) as an efficient metric to evaluate exposure when more than one antenna is transmitting simultaneously. Then, it is analytically derived that TASPS will be below a given exposure limit, as long as the stand-alone peak SAR for each antenna is smaller than that limit. Thus, SAR evaluation is greatly simplified since only stand-alone SAR needs to be measured. Several examples of dual-antenna mobile handsets are shown to illustrate and validate the analytical result. (Less)
