## Abstract

Dynamic tuning method for a specific absorption rate (SAR) is provided. The dynamic tuning method is applied to user equipment (UE). The dynamic tuning method may include the following steps: the UE may determine the back-off value corresponding to the current antenna state; and the UE may tune the conducted power of the radio frequency (RF) circuit of the UE based on the back-off value.
