IEEE 1528 SAR Testing for Mobile Phones and Wireless Devices
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which radio frequency (RF) energy is absorbed by the human body. IEEE Std 1528-2019 provides guidelines for determining the SAR level in mobile phones and other wireless devices. This standard ensures compliance with international safety regulations, protecting users from excessive RF exposure.
The testing process involves placing a device in a standardized phantom that simulates the human body. The phantom is then exposed to various levels of RF energy while the absorbed power density (SAR) is measured. Compliance requires that SAR values do not exceed specified limits set by regulatory bodies such as the FCC, ICNIRP, and others.
Our laboratory offers comprehensive IEEE 1528 SAR testing services tailored for mobile phones, smartwatches, wireless headphones, and other personal electronics. Our team of experts ensures accurate measurement and interpretation of results to meet strict industry standards.

- ICNIRP Guidelines on Limits of Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz)
The IEEE Std 1528-2019 is widely recognized as the most comprehensive standard for SAR testing. It provides detailed procedures for measuring SAR in various types of wireless devices. Compliance with these standards ensures that products meet international safety requirements.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to these guidelines, ensuring accurate and reliable results. By doing so, we help our clients maintain compliance not only in the United States but also globally where similar regulations apply.
Scope and Methodology
The scope of IEEE 1528 SAR testing includes all mobile phones, smartwatches, wireless headphones, and other personal electronic devices that emit radio frequency energy. This testing is crucial for ensuring the safety of users who may be exposed to this radiation during normal use.
To conduct these tests, we use advanced instrumentation such as vector network analyzers (VNAs), power meters, and specialized software designed specifically for SAR measurement. The phantom used in our testing simulates a 50% body weight adult male or female, depending on the device being tested.
The methodology involves placing the device inside the phantom and exposing it to different levels of RF energy. The absorbed power density (SAR) is then measured at multiple locations within the phantom. This process allows us to determine the maximum SAR value for the device under test.
Once the measurements are complete, we analyze the data using statistical methods to ensure accuracy and repeatability. Compliance with IEEE 1528 requires that the maximum SAR value does not exceed specified limits set by regulatory bodies.
