ABSORBED POWER MEASURING METHOD, LOCAL AVERAGE ABSORBED POWER MEASURING METHOD, LOCAL AVERAGE ABSORBED POWER CALCULATING DEVICE, AND LOCAL AVERAGE ABSORBED POWER CALCULATING PROGRAM

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a simple way of measuring the local average absorbed power of a radio device having a plurality of antennas. A local average absorbed power measuring method of the present invention has an individual measurement step and a calculation step. In the individual measurement step, the amplitude and phase of the electric field or magnetic field of each one of the plurality of antennas are measured. In the calculation step, local average absorbed power candidates are obtained while weights are being varied. More specifically, in a combination sub-step, given weights are applied to the amplitudes and phases of the electric fields or magnetic fields of the individual antennas, obtained in the individual measurement step, and the results are combined. In a local average absorbed power candidate calculation sub-step, the absorbed power distribution in three-dimensional space is calculated from the combined electric field or combined magnetic field obtained in the combination sub-step, and a local average absorbed power candidate is obtained. In a local average absorbed power selection step, the highest one of the local average absorbed power candidates is specified as the local average absorbed power of the radio device.
