Patent ID: 7330705

Claim:
A method for controlling SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) in a mobile terminal for controlling a transmission power of an RF (Radio Frequency) signal by controlling a gain of an amplifier for amplifying the RF signal, comprising the steps of: a) checking a user-selected SAR control mode of the mobile terminal; b) setting a code value corresponding to a transmission power of the RF signal to a gain of the amplifier, wherein the code value is set to a first code value when the user-selected SAR control mode is a safe mode, and is set to a second code value when the user-selected SAR control mode is a normal mode; and c) amplifying the RF signal according to the gain of the amplifier; d) calling a corresponding code table according to the user-selected SAR control mode; and e) calculating a code value versus a transmission power to be transmitted on the basis of the called code table.
