5. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
5.1 Introduction
SAR is related to the rate at which energy is absorbed per unit mass in an object exposed to a radio field. The SAR
distribution in a biological body is complicated and is usually carried out by experimental techniques or numerical
modeling. The standard recommends limits for two tiers of groups, occupational/controlled and general
population/uncontrolled, based on a person’s awareness and ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. In
general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are higher than the limits for general population/uncontrolled.
5.2 SAR Definition
The SAR definition is the time derivative (rate) of the incremental energy (dW) absorbed by (dissipated in) an
incremental mass (dm) contained in a volume element (dv) of a given density (ρ). The equation description is as
