Microwave Factory has added support for the CMX500 5G one-box signaling tester from Rohde & Schwarz to its MATEOS SAR measurement software. The setup combines the CMX500 with SPEAG’s cSAR3D vector array system and enables automated SAR measurements for 5G NR standalone (SA), 5G non-standalone (NSA) and LTE devices through one software interface.
Microwave Factory (MWF) and Rohde & Schwarz have collaborated to enable fast and fully automated SAR measurements on 5G NR and LTE devices. MATEOS, the high-speed SAR measurement software from MWF, now integrates SPEAG’s cSAR3D vector array system with the CMX500 one-box signaling tester in one workflow.
Users can control the measurement process through a single interface. This reduces setup times significantly compared to earlier workflows that required manual call configuration and separate setup steps on the CMX500 test platform.
This integration was developed in response to customer requests for automated SAR measurements with the CMX500 and SPEAG‘s SAR systems. The current implementation supports 5G NR standalone, 5G NR non-standalone and LTE. This addresses demand for stable and efficient SAR measurements during mobile device development and certification.
Specific absorption rate, or SAR, measurements are essential for verifying that mobile devices comply with human exposure limits. As 5G devices and wireless technologies continue to evolve, fast, automated and reliable SAR measurement workflows are becoming increasingly important for device manufacturers, test houses and certification laboratories.
