ADVANCED FEATURES FOR COMPLEX SIGNALS

▶ Proximity sensors

▶ Time averaging SAR

▶ Exclusive Phase viewer

SARLAB©'s exclusive Advanced features allows to measure comprehensive content of field distribution (i.e. Magnitude, Phase and Frequency) which are particularly suited for R&D activities and advanced certification programs.

ART-Fi^® is the inventor of the RF-VMBS. The D-PHASE^© technology embedded in ART-MAN^© provides exclusive functions which goes beyond classical SAR measurement.

For mobile and IoT manufacturers, design optimization is synonymous of reduced time to market and performance improvement.

Combining the exclusive D-PHASE^© technology with the SARBORG^© robot accurately addresses the SAR testing of complex devices.

Indeed, more and more devices are including Proximity sensors as well as Time Average SAR algorithms which request suitable setup to address the high complexity and quantity of tests generated by those devices' functions.

The near field scanner is indeed able to escalate Phase and Magnitude pattern over the array. For antenna designer willing to optimize their design, real-time Phase signature can be assessed leading to significant design and cost reductions.

Evolutive features

Device' signal monitoring
(Oscilloscope & spectrum views)

Thanks to the D-PHASE^© technology, the straightforward application of the native RF vector signal analysis allows to monitor and to record signal signature during measurement. Time Division Duplex signal are easily controlled thanks to the oscilloscope viewer, escalating the signal time response emitted by the device under test (DUT).
Real-time spectrum monitoring is bringing signal spectrum so compliance of the device's emission is controlled. Frequency, modulation pattern as well as spectrum details are then available allowing to ensure that the device remains in the expected test configuration.

Device's power monitoring

Time Averaging SAR is more and more implemented for SAR reduction. The ART-MAN^© measurement system includes smart module for power sensing over time with a time resolution as low as 0,25s. SARLAB's Time Averaging SAR assessment complies with the international standards and can also be supported for algorithm validation.

Exclusive Phase viewer

The Exclusive Phase viewer is a unique feature provided by SARLAB©. As per pattern signature, designer can access antenna design optimization with genuine data from EM radiation. Several views of the Phase are available making this function particularly accurate for R&D for antenna performances improvement.
