Test Equipment Description

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a method for evaluating the exposure conditions of a wireless device to ensure global compliance to government standards.

The ALSAS 10U automated SAR test system allows for the evaluation of SAR both to optimize efficiency of a design and to ensure compliance with international safety requirements.

APREL ALSAS 10U SAR Test System per IEEE 1528, IEC 62209 and MoreAPREL ALSAS-10U is fully optimized for the dosimetric evaluation of a broad range of wireless devices. Developed in line with the latest methodologies it is fully compliant with the technical and scientific requirements of IEEE 1528, IEC 62209 Part 1 & 2, CENELEC (EN50361), ARIB, ACA, and the Federal Communications Commission.

ALSAS-10U has been developed with a strong focus on application development with custom modular software/hardware for the broadest range of wireless testing, including dosimetry research and measurements utilizing various phantoms – Right and Left SAM Phantoms, UniPhantom™, Uni-Flat Phantom, and full size Flat Phantom. Free space E-Field measurements of mobile devices and base station antennas can also be executed using ALSAS. With the current ALSAS configuration, several phantoms and setups can be arranged around the system – and since the phantoms are designed to be light and easy to move for interchanging between test frequencies compliance test times are improved.

ALSAS-10U SAR test system is designed to cover the frequency range from 30MHz to 6GHz as per the IEC 62209 Part 2 standard. There is no limiting factor to the operating RF carrier frequency range for the ALSAS-10U system other than the phantoms chosen for testing. The ALSAS-10U has been designed to be modular and phantoms are integrated onto the Universal Workstation ™ to allow for complete flexibility of the measurement process. This unique design allows for a fully flexible system which can be built around the exact needs of the user.

  • ALSAS-10U can calculate multi-peak SAR and perform multi-cube analysis automatically.
  • The scanning interpolation, and extrapolation methods conform to international standards.
  • Probe tilt is included so as to meet IEEE 1528 and IEC 62209 Part 1 & 2 standards requirements.
