Comparison of live person test to head and hand phantom test in reverberation chamber

The Total Radiated Power of a cell phone was measured in a reverberation chamber with a head and hand phantom and compared to live person testing of 5 test subjects who held device in similar grip as the phantom. Repeatability in tests was examined for the phantom and for the live person test subjects. The method demonstrated can be used to evaluate mobile devices handled by live persons. It can also be used to validate that a phantom is a good representation of live persons.
