SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the radiation intensity of a cell phone with a peak output power of 2.0 W, using the formula I = P/A. To determine the area, the assumption of an isotropic radiation pattern is made, considering a sphere with a 2-inch radius. However, the near-field effects and the proximity of human tissue significantly alter the radiation pattern, making isotropic assumptions less accurate. It is recommended to use worst-case scenarios for calculations and to conduct thorough research on existing studies related to cell phone radiation intensity.
