RFI at Radio Frequency Investigation Ltd (RFI) has taken delivery of hardware and software worth GBP 165,000 to upgrade its Anite SuperSAT+ test platform.
The harmonised standard EN 50360, published in July this year, is the Product Standard which manufacturers must now follow to demonstrate compliance of mobile phones with basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields in the range 300 MHz to 3 GHz.
It is potentially more demanding than previous standards and refers to new test procedures and measurements to demonstrate compliance with Article 3.1A of the R and TTE Directive.
The test procedure specifies more detailed SAR measurements and reinforces the importance of SAR measurements and the role they play in giving confidence regarding the health and safety of mobile phones.
RFI has commissioned a new phantom from Swiss supplier Schmid and Partner, which enables easier and more repeatable positioning of mobile handsets and helps manufacturers meet these latest SAR testing requirements.
