bangles) worn on human fingers and wrist on SAR in the human head and the hand. The jewellery items were
modelled as conducting objects with the typical commercial sizes available. Rings were placed on different
fingers in a computer model for comparison purposes. The amount of energy absorbed in the head/hand and the
effect brought about by the jewellery are shown to vary for different antennas. In this study, a monopole and a
PIFA antenna have been employed. The results obtained indicated that: (i) by using a monopole antenna, the
peak and average 1g SAR in the head are slightly decreased by the introduction of the ring and bangle, (ii) by
using a PIFA, the peak and average 1g SAR in the head are increase by more than 12% and 11% respectively by
the metallic rings.
