Abstract
In this paper, reducing electromagnetic absorption (EM) with materials attachment is investigated. The finite-difference time-domain method with lossy-Drude model is adopted in this study. The methodology of SAR reduction is addressed and the effects of attaching location, distance, and size of ferrite sheet material on the SAR reduction are investigated. Materials have achieved a 47.68% reduction of the initial SAR value for the case of 1 gm SAR. These results suggest a guideline to choose various types of materials with the maximum SAR reducing effect for a phone model.
