ABSTRAK
Kertas ini membincangkan kaedah untuk mengurangkan kesan interaksi gelombang elektromagnet dengan kepala manusia menggunakan bahan ferit dan metabahan. Pengukuran pengurangan bagi Kadar Penyerapan Spesifik (SAR) menggunakan bahan ferit dan metabahan telah dilaksana dengan kaedah domain-masa perbezaan-terhingga (FDTD) model Lossy-Drude melalui perisianCST Microwave
Studio. Metabahan dibentuk dengan menyusun penyalun cincin terpisah (SRRs) secara berkala. Nilai SAR diukur pada beberapa nilai jarak antara model kepala dengan telefon, kelebaran, ketebalan dan ketinggian bahan ferit dan metabahan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa nilai SAR1g telah berkurang kepada 1.043 W/kg dengan menggunakan bahan ferit dan 1.161 W/kg dengan menggunakan metabahan. BagiSAR10g, nilaiSAR menurun kepada 0.676 W/kg menggunakan bahan ferit dan 0.737 W/kg dengan menggunakan metabahan. Keputusan bagi nilai SAR dalam kepala manusia dengan kehadiran SRR yang membentuk metabahan telah dianalisis untuk menentusahkan kesan bagi pengurangan SAR ini. Keputusan analisis ini boleh memberikan maklumat yang dapat membantu dalam reka bentuk peralatan komunikasi tanpa wayar bagi mematuhi peraturan keselamatan.

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the method to reduce
electromagnetic wave interaction with the human head using ferrite and metamaterials. The measurement of Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR)
reduction with ferrite materials and metamaterials was performed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method
with Lossy-Drude model via CST Microwave
Studio software. The metamaterials was formed from a
periodic arrangement of the split ring resonators (SRRs). The SAR values
were measured at several distances between the head model and the phone,
widths, thicknesses, and heights of the ferrite and metamaterial.
The research results indicated that the SAR1g value has
been reduced to a value of 1.043 W/kg using ferrite material and 1.161 W/kg
using metamaterials. For SAR10g, the
value decreases to 0.676 W/kg using ferrite material and 0.737 W/kg using metamaterials. Numerical results of the SAR values in
a human head with the presence of SRRs as metamaterials are shown to validate the effect of SAR reduction.
These results can provide useful information in the design of the wireless
communication equipment for safety compliance.
