Anritsu Accelerates SAR Measurement for 5G/LTE Devices in Collaboration with Microwave Factory and SPEAG
2025/11/11
Automating SAR measurement supports safe mobile device development

ANRITSU CORPORATION announces that its base station simulators have been adopted in a high-speed Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurement solution developed by Microwave Factory Co., Ltd. (MWF) in collaboration with Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG). This solution automates RF exposure assessments for 5G standalone (SA), 5G non-standalone (NSA), and 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) devices, supporting the development of safer mobile devices.
Solution Overview
The system seamlessly integrates the following products:
-
Microwave Factory: MATEOS Antenna Measurement Software
-
SPEAG: cSAR3D Vector Array System
-
Anritsu: MT8000A/MT8821C Base Station Simulators
In conventional SAR measurements, engineers manually configured the MT8000A/MT8821C. This solution automates the entire SAR measurement process, drastically reducing setup time. It also supports a wide range of standards, from LTE (4G) to 5G NR (SA/NSA), enabling faster and fully automated measurement operations.
SAR testing is essential to ensure that mobile devices, such as smartphones, comply with safety standards for human RF exposure. This collaboration enables manufacturers to perform critical measurements more quickly and reliably, helping bring safer products to market faster.
Each of the three project collaborators remains dedicated to advancing the safety and usefulness of mobile communications.
