Abstract

A wireless terminal with a reduced Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) peak value and a method for reducing an SAR peak value by using the wireless terminal are disclosed. The wireless terminal with a reduced SAR peak value includes a first antenna configured to receive or transmit a communication signal, and further includes: a second antenna configured to feed a coupling signal when the first antenna receives or transmits the communication signal, and a signal processing module configured to process the coupling signal to reduce an SAR peak value of the communication signal for a human body. The energy of a superposed signal in a human body orientation is reduced by superposing the coupling signal with the communication signal, so as to reduce the SAR peak value effectively.

3. The wireless terminal with a reduced SAR peak value according to claim 2 , wherein the second antenna comprises:

a second feed source, configured to feed the coupling signal; and

a second radiator, configured to receive or transmit the coupling signal.

4. The wireless terminal with a reduced SAR peak value according to claim 3 , wherein the second radiator is a tortuous conducting line or a conducting strip with multiple branches.

5. The wireless terminal with a reduced SAR peak value according to claim 4 , wherein the human body sensor is an optical sensor, a thermal sensor, a gravity sensor or a proximity sensor, and the human body sensor includes multiple human body sensors distributed on each inner surface of the wireless terminal.

6. The wireless terminal with a reduced SAR peak value according to claim 1 , wherein the second antenna is further configured to feed the communication signal, and receive or transmit the communication signal.

7. A method for reducing a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) peak value by using a wireless terminal, comprising:
