I got this information from some postings on the QCOM thread. This could be the blind leading the blind <gg>> . I will try to double check this. Thanks for the input. According to the QCOM www site "CDMA handsets typically transmit at the lowest power levels in the industry"

See Message 11688816 and related posts. The 5 to 1 advantage I mentioned probably holds true for analog, if not digital. However since there is no evidence one way or another whether maximum signal output or average signal output could cause problems, the exact CDMA advantage over other digital systems can't be calculated . Since all radiation decreases as the square of the distance minor changes in antenna and phone design could also reduce radiation substantially. I'll just take Qualcomm's word that CDMA is better.... Remember this is low level non ionizing radiation so there may well be a threshold level for damage. As far as I can see in any case this is probably a tempest in a teapot, and probably not worth spending more time on. Thanks for pointing out my errors.

I have no clue about the power level emissions of various phones, but I would argue that when it comes to initiating chemical reactions or breaking bonds, peak power may be more of a determinant. For instance let's say you have an antenna that peaks at 50KW and one that peaks at 0.5W. I definitely don't want to be too near the former when it's in the on state regardless of how long it is shut off after I've been fried...even if the average power density is only 0.005W. Lower peak power needed probably gives a competitive argument to whichever technology has that claim. Fatboy
