Which Type of Cell Phone Emits the Most Radiation?

Overview

Objectives/Goals In my experiment I tested four cell phones. I tested an LG env3, a Pantec Matrix, a Blackberry Curve and a Blackberry Pearl. My hypothesis was that the Blackberry Curve would emit the most RF Radiation. Methods/Materials LG env3, a Pantec Matrix, a Blackberry Curve and a Blackberry Pearl. I put one phone at a time on a table and waved the probe over it. Then I used my house phone to call that phone and waved the probe over it again. I repeated this with the other three phones and recorded all the data. Results The phone with the highest radiation was the Blackberry Curve, at 1.9mW/cm2. Then was the Blackberry Pearl at 1.3mW/cm2, then the Pantec Matrix at 1.26mW/cm2. The phone with the lowest RF radiation emissions was the LGenv3 at 1.16mW/cm2. These were the average of four separate trials. Conclusions/Discussion My testing proved my experiment correct. The Blackberry Curve had the most emissions.
