Method and apparatus for reducing electromagnetic waves in mobile device

A method and an apparatus for reducing electromagnetic waves in a mobile device are provided. According to the method, in a mobile device having the first and second modules with different functions, the apparatus operates the first module at the first operating frequency. If there is a request for operating the second module while the first module is operated, the apparatus changes the first operating frequency to a second operating frequency which is different from the first operating frequency, and operates the first module at the second operating frequency. The apparatus reduces a total magnitude of electromagnetic waves caused by a simultaneous operation of two or more modules, thereby enhancing the quality of the mobile device and minimizing any undesirable impact upon the human body.
