SAR Measurement

Importance of the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

The measurement of the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a key factor for health protection in the field of wireless communication. The SAR value quantifies the absorption of radio frequency (RF) energy by the body when using cell phones and other wireless devices. International limits ensure that RF exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) always remains safe for the user. SAR tests are therefore essential to ensure product safety.

DASY8 SAR test system

Lab Equipment

DASY8 Module Configuration

Take advantage of our advanced testing capabilities: For SAR testing, we use DASY8, a high-precision electromagnetic (EM) near-field scanning system with robotic technology.
The DASY8 from SPEAG is the latest generation of this technology and is ideal for testing compliance with national and international regulations (e.g. FCC, IEC) for EM exposure from 3 kHz to 110 GHz.

  • SAR: Compliance for all national and international SAR standards

  • APD: With the absorbed power density (APD) limits from 10 to 45 GHz

  • mmWave: From 6 to 110 GHz using the smallest pseudo-vector electric (E-) field probe

  • WPT: Compliance with magnetic field sources (e.g. wireless power transfer systems (WPT)) operating between 3 kHz and 4 MHz

The system also offers flexible options for research and development measurements.

Limits and Testing Standards

All SAR tests measure the absorption rate of radio frequency (RF) radiation in the human body. However, limits and standards vary around the world as individual countries adhere to guidelines set by different regulatory authorities. To ensure compliance, it is important to consider the specific SAR regulations of the target markets. Contact us to discuss your requirements. We're here to help.
