Tester, ComoSAR integration enhances 5G SAR measurement capabilities

This integration, achieved through dedicated drivers for OpenSAR SW, covers the New Radio (NR) FR1 frequency range (sub 7.125 GHz).

This milestone enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurements for 5G-capable devices using one of the market’s most recognized and widely used radio communication testers. SAR testing laboratories can now automate 5G FR1 Stand Alone (SA) calls for User Equipment (UE) at maximum power, as expected for test procedures.

This integration supports TS38 508-1 Test Frequencies and User Defined configurations, as well as LTE connections for MT8000A models with this capability.

"Anritsu is committed to advancing 5G through the integration of our MT8000A solution into MVG's ComoSAR system. The MT8000A is a versatile platform supporting 4G and 5G cellular technology for RF measurements, protocol, and application testing in FR1, FR2, and LTE. The MT8000A simulates a cellular network to evaluate mobile devices with a wide dynamic range for a stable connection in a radiated environment, enabling precise SAR testing. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with MVG to help achieve a safer, more connected world," said Keith Even, General Manager National Sales, Anritsu America Sales Company.

"The workflow is significantly simplified by enabling the application of pre-defined scenarios to the SAR system, including choices of frequency bands, modulation schemes, and more, in line with IEC and FCC regulations. Additionally, users can generate custom measurement scenarios according to their specific requirements," said Nicolas DOARE, MVG Area Sales Director - RFDA.
