Antenna with Reduced Radiation Hazards for Wireless Communication Application

The ill–effects of the continuous exposure of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation induced health problems on all living organisms. Main causes of these problems are due to the existence of antennas with higher specific absorption rates in the wireless communication systems. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the amount of the power (radiation) which is absorbed in the unit volume of the tissue. As the specific absorption rate of antennas increases, the amount of the power that is absorbed by the organic tissues will increase. Due to the excess amount of absorption of electromagnetic radiation leads to the internal and external effects on the living beings. This can even leads to the cell mutation, DNA damage, chromosomal aberrations, reproduction effects, reduced seed germination, growth reduction etc. So design an antenna system with a low absorption rate, which is suitable for all the wireless communication systems and able to reduce the amount of biological effects occurred on the biotic environment.
