SAR

RFI: At the cutting edge of SAR testing

What is SAR?

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is a quantitative measure of the amount of electromagnetic energy absorbed by the human body.  To market a product with radio frequency transmitter(s) or a product that influences a devices’ RF performance, and which is used in close proximity to the human body, there are requirements that must be satisfied and SAR is one of them.  SAR testing forms part of the Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) EC directive and the FCC regulations to demonstrate compliance with health requirements.

RFI's 10 years of experience and innovation

RFI has over 10 years experience working with RF exposure and the developing associated regulations.  We have continued to invest in the latest SAR test equipment are influential members of technical bodies involved in standard improvement, such as LTE platform validation.  RFI use the DASY 4 measurement system with a broad range of probes, and the SAM and elliptical phantoms.
