This paper presents the investigation of influence of the common metallic loop-like accessory on the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) averaged over 10g and 1g of body tissue. The simulations were made by means of CST Microwave Studio software at frequencies of 2.45GHz and 2.6GHz. Numerical analysis conducted using a broadband textile monopole antenna (TM) with variations of orientation and distance showed that SAR values increased when the TM is horizontally polarized. This is up to 80% more than vertically polarized TM when placed closest to the metallic item at 2 mm.
