The ART-MAN Difference
With reliable 100% vector probe-array technology and physics-based assessments, ART-MAN is being adopted by test labs and R&D departments around the world.
- Instant SAR measurement. A single measurement takes only a few seconds.
- Accuracy. ART-MAN uses patented probe-array technology that takes an absolute assessment of the phase and amplitude of the field.
- Broadband operation. The Device Under Test (DUT) can operate at any frequency within the 0.69 - 6 GHz range, using any signal modulation.
- Simultaneous frequency assessment for multi-TX operation and carrier aggregation technologies.
- Efficient MIMO testing using phase information. ART-MAN is the only system to capture absolute measurements of the phase of the field.
FCC APPROVAL FOR SWITCHED DIVERSITY ANTENNA
At the TCBC meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, the FCC announced that SAR assessments produced by “array sensor SAR systems” will be accepted, for test cases and under named conditions, when applied to switched Diversity Antenna phones.
Diversity antenna refers to having more than one antenna in a single mobile device. The FCC ruling applies to multiple antennae that are not transmitting simultaneously and that are fed by identical hardware. MIMO transmissions are not covered under the ruling.

Hands-free SAR Measurement
The SARborg is a robotic DUT positioner add-on for the ART-MAN and DUO-BODY systems. With the SARborg, you can setup hundreds of tests in the SARlab, and then watch as the SARborg performs the tests for you completely hands-free.
FCC/IEC Universal SAR measurement
FCC/IEC body SAR requirements for tissue simulating materials are different. The DUO-BODY ART-MAN extension has left and right head phantoms, and matching FCC/IEC flat phantoms for measuring body SAR.
Small cells and large devices
Manufacturers of femtocells, picocells, and small cells are turning their attention to measuring SAR for these new products. The ART-BODY is designed for such small cells, as well as laptops and tablets.
