Abstract
A proximity sensor for a portable wireless connected device, the sensor being arranged to determine whether a part of a user's body is near the portable connected wireless device. The sensor generates a time-averaged proximity that is alerted when the device is brought near a part of a user's body for a given time and may be periodically reset momentarily during the periods of proximity. An integration time comparable with that used in SAR testing, enables the sensor to reduce the radio power emitted by a portable device when it is near the body. The integration time can be obtained by a sigma/delta modulator configured as rate-compression unit.
