Cellular phone that exposes the user's brain to much less microwave radiation than ordinary cellular phones with the help of a proxy (intermediary) device.
First Claim
1. A system for reducing the level of microwave radiation that the user'"'"'s brain is exposed to while using cellular phones, comprising:
- A cellular phone;
A proxy device which communicates on one hand with the cellular phone at a short range without a metallic wire between them and on the other hand communicates with the cellular company'"'"'s cells at least in one operation mode;
and wherein at least one of;
a. The proxy and the cellular phone can operate in two modes, so that when the user holds the phone near his/her head the communication with the cellular company'"'"'s cells is through the proxy, which is kept away from the user'"'"'s head, and the user can also instead use the proxy as a headset and then the communication with the cellular company'"'"'s cells is through the phone, which is kept away from the user'"'"'s head;
b. The proxy device is physically directly coupled to the cellular phone, and, while coupled to it, physically extends the position of the cellular antenna as far away from the brain as conveniently possible;
c. The communication between the cellular phone and the proxy is by optic fiber;
d. When the part that is used near the user'"'"'s head is temporarily unable to communicate with the other part, it switches to normal operation (using its cellular antenna) and warns the user that he/she is being exposed to the normal cellular microwave radiation;
e. The communication between the phone and the proxy device is by short range low energy non-optical wireless communication and said wireless communication is pulse based carrier-free communication;
f. The communication between the phone and the proxy device is by short range low energy wireless communication and said wireless communication is pulse based communication, and said pulse based communication is UWB.

Abstract
Cellular phones are becoming more common and popular amongst all sectors of the population for business and private conversations, including many children, with about a Billion users worldwide, and about 300,000 new joiners each day. There is much concern and there is already some accumulating evidence that the Microwave emission transmitted by the cellular antenna that is held close to user'"'"'s head may have deleterious effects on the user, such as for example brain or eye cancer, and possibly even more so for children. One of the most common ways to try to avoid these problems has been the usage of personal earphones with microphone, but on Apr. 4, 2000 it was published worldwide that a research conducted by the “Which?” consumer Magazine in Britain found that in fact the earphone and its cable can act as an Antenna and also expose the user to the microwave radiation. The present invention solves the above problem in using earphones with cellular phones by a reverse and more sophisticated solution than short range wireless earphones, and also solves the problem that many people don'"'"'t like using headsets at all. Another important variation is the use of short range low energy pulse-based carrier-free wireless communication (preferably UWB) between the two parts of the phone and/or between the phone and a headset and/or between the headset and the proxy.
