METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE EXPOSURE TO RF TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

A method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling the exposure of a user (3) of a handheld portable communication device (2) to RF emissions from the device antenna (1). The total energy transmitted in a predetermined window of time is continuously monitored by the device (2). Should the accumulated transmitted energy exceed a predetermined threshold, measures are taken by the device (2) to control user exposure to the RF emissions from the device antenna (1).
