Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-phase device for electromagnetic waves. It finds particular application in the field of the protection of people vis-à-vis the waves emitted for example by mobile phones.
  • SAR Specific Absorption Rate
  • the MRI medical imaging and the numerical methods of electromagnetic computation allow the estimation of the electric and magnetic fields but it is difficult to model numerically a radiotelephone (cf FTRD models France Telecom ENST).
  • Calculations using existing models for GSM give a SAR of 1 watt / kilogram, 13% of that power being absorbed by the brain, with 30% of energy absorbed in a 5 cm cube centered on the inner ear , the estimated maximum SAR in the inner ear being of the order of 0.4 watts / kg for a power of 250 mW and a GSM frequency of 900 MHz.
  • the maximum peak power authorized in France for GSM is 2 watts at 900 Mhz and 1 watt at 1800 MHz, with TDMA division at 217 Hertz, the maximum allowable SAR being set at 0.08 watt / kg for the public. (Regulation 1999 / 519CE) with 2 Watt / Kg locally for 10 grams of fabric.
  • a mean conductivity value of 1S / m for a fabric, at 900 Mhz, gives an electric field strength of 30 V / m to obtain a SAR of 1 W / kg.
  • Electromagnetic fields related to mobile telephony between 850 and 1900 Mhz have a low apparent thermal effect (less than 0.1 degrees).
  • documents may be referred to WO-03/005487 , FR-2826784 , FR-2781088 , WO-03/043122 , WO-2005/031918 , some of which are from the present inventor.
  • the problem that arises then is to have a device for protecting people against electromagnetic waves that operates at great distances, up to several tens of meters.

  • the device comprises several phase shift modules.
  • Each phase shift module in turn comprises at least two loops substantially identical or homothetic to each other, substantially planar, and electrically interconnected by two separate interloop connection elements, at a first opening in each of the loops.

  • the plane of the loops of a phase shift module is the same as the plane of the loops of another phase shift module.
  • the plane or the planes of the loops of a phase shift module are different from the plane or planes of the loops of another phase shift module.
  • the plane or planes of the loops of a phase shift module are then parallel to the plane or loops of another phase shift module.
  • each of the loops is mounted on a flexible printed circuit and covered with an insulating flexible plate of polymeric material.
  • each phase-shifting module of the invention does not, strictly speaking, comprise an antenna (see, by comparison, the documents US 5627552 , US 3582951 and US 5451965 ) of the folded hertz dipole or Yagi type, or else magnetic loop frame.
  • the present inventor has, moreover, like all the persons of the profession concerned, encountered significant difficulties to carry out DAS measurements making it possible to demonstrate the beneficial effect of his device.
  • the present inventor has discovered that the BEST MSA 21 type B class 2 series 1455 apparatus of Intertek Testing Services, performing electroacupuncture measurements on points located on the patient's hand, makes it possible to visualize and measure an effect. for the present invention, this effect being improved over those obtained with the prior devices, in particular those described in the documents WO-03/005487 , FR-2826784 and FR-2781088 and WO-2005/031918 .
  • the present inventor has also been able to verify the effectiveness of the multiphase device of the invention in terms of radius of action. This could indeed be multiplied by a factor that can range from 100 to 3000, depending on the number of phase shift modules, compared to a conventional device.
