Laboratory Configuration

SAR & OTA

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)

SAR generally refers to the ratio of electromagnetic wave absorption or the absorption rate, reflecting the amount of electromagnetic energy absorbed by the human body from phones or wireless products. SAR represents the electromagnetic power absorbed or dissipated per unit mass of human tissue, measuRED in W/kg.

Excessive electromagnetic radiation from wireless communication terminals can impact human health, causing symptoms like fatigue, nervous weakness, and memory decline over time. With the development of information technology, while enjoying the convenience of wireless communication devices, the public is increasingly concerned about the effects of electromagnetic radiation on health. Therefore, nearly all wireless communication products involve sar testing.

OTA (Over The Air)

OTA testing is an active test designed to verify the wireless device’s connectivity to the network and the effect of the user on radiation and reception performance; it involves spatial 3D testing and measurements of radiated power and receiver sensitivity.

The CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association) in the US is the sole organization setting OTA testing standards. Other organizations involved include PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board), 3GPP (3G Partner Project), and COST 273.

OTA testing focuses on the overall radiated performance of the device and has gradually become an important and recognized test by mobile phone manufacturers, emphasizing the radiation performance in terms of the device’s transmit power and receiver sensitivity.
