Abstract The purpose of this project was to find out how much radio frequency radiation comes out of different kinds of cell phones and if the RF radiation emitted from a phone reduced with distance. Additionally, how do variables such as signal strengths, speaking on the phone, using ear buds, texting, and using an app, affect the amount of RF radiation emitted from the phones.
