What is SAR testing?

SpecificAbsorptionRate(SAR)testingistheradiofrequency(RF)dosimetryquantificationofthemagnitudeand
distributionofabsorbedelectromagneticenergywithinbiologicalobjectsthatareexposedtoRFfields.
Theselevelsareexpressedaswattsperkilogram(W/kg).InternationalregulatorybodiesarerequiringSAR
evaluationsformostportableandmobilewirelesstechnologies.
ParametersthatcanaffectSARinclude:
Typesofradioservice(cellular,PCS,LMR,WLAN,etc.)
Typesofmodulations(CDMA,GMSK,TDMA,AMPS,etc.)
