Measurements of skin surface temperature during mobile phone use

掲載誌: Bioelectromagnetics 2007; 28 (2): 159-162

この研究は、携帯電話を6分間継続して被験者に使用させた後の顔の側面の温度上昇の最大値を測定した。測定に用いたのは、835MHz帯で作動するAMPSアナログ携帯電話2機種と900MHz帯で作動する初期のGSMデジタル電話3機種である。その結果、温度上昇の最大値はGSMで2.3℃、AMPS で4.5℃であり、両方とも頬に生じた;AMPSとGSMでの温度上昇の差は、平均稼動電力の最大値がAMPS (600 mW)の方がGSM900 (250 mW)より高いためと考えられる;AMPSでは、頬の一点の温度変化は、作動なし(-0.7 ℃)、最大出力送信時(+2.6 ℃)、スタンドバイモード(+2.0 ℃)であった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To measure temperature rises on the side of the face after 6 minutes of continuous mobile phone operation using two models of analog mobile phone system phones (operating in the 835 MHz band) and three GSM mobile phone models operating in the 900 MHz band.

詳細情報

Additionally, the temperature on the side of the face for analog mobile phone system phones while it was inoperative, transmitting, and in stand-by mode was measured in order to separate the contributions to heating from the radiofrequency amplifier and control electronics.

General information

The tests were performed on three GSM and two AMPS phone models that were in use in the mid-1990s and may not be representative of current designs or battery technologies. If the phone had an extendable antenna this was pulled out during the measurements.

チャンバの詳細 The subject sat on a chair in a semi-anechoic chamber during exposure and warm-up period.
ばく露装置の詳細 Immediately following a 15 min warm-up period, the phone in test mode transmitting at full power was held loosely with the fingers by the subject against the right hand side of his head and touched the skin in the typical use position for a period of 6 min.
Additional information An additional comparative test was performed with one of the AMPS phones while it was inoperative, transmitting, and in stand-by mode in order to separate the contributions from the RF amplifier and control electronics.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

For the GSM mobile phones the highest recorded temperature rise difference was 2.3°C and for the analog mobile phone system phones it was 4.5°C. The higher differential temperature rise between the two mobile phone systems may reflect the higher maximum average operating power of analog mobile phone (600 mW) versus GSM 900 (250 mW).
Additionally, comparison of temperature changes at a consistent location on the cheek for an analog mobile phone system phone showed that it was -0.7°C for inoperative status (i.e. cooler than the left control cheek side), +2.6°C for transmitting at full power and in stand-by mode +2.0°C.
