Distance between exposed object and exposure source
40 mm
Setup
The mobile phone was mounted to the left side of the subject's head by a modified helmet assuring a constant distance of 15 mm between the phone and the ear. An identical phone, but without a battery, was positioned on the right side of the head. Both phones were held in the normal position for use with the aerial near the head in the parietotemporal area, about 40 mm from the scalp surface.
