ART-BORG®
ENHANCED SAR MEASUREMENT
Boost ART-MAN® performances with ART-Borg®
Associated with ART-MAN®, ART-Borg® improves the normative SAR* measurement precision of smartphones, ensures the quality of the process and provides smartphones new technologies measurements.
Easily controlled by SARLAB®, ART-Borg® drastically reduces time and cost for smartphones ' SAR measurement.
* Specific Absorption Rate, Human RF exposure
ENHANCED SAR MEASUREMENT SOLUTION
Adding ART-BORG® to ART-MAN® greatly improves the SAR measurement precision, automates all manual operations and ensures to accurately follow the international standards processes.
MAIN MEASUREMENT BENEFITS
Improved precision
Ultra fast
Auto check (process & DUT)
Complex smartphones technology assessment
ART-BORG® combines technologies including hardware and software.
The solution automates the time consuming manual operations.
The robot is completed by the vacuum technology and an electrically neutral venturi holder to improve the SAR measurement precision.
Piloted by SARLAB®, ART-BORG® automates and autonomously performs any test plan from one to thousand measurements making the SAR measurement process faster and simpler.
The measurement auto check capacity offers a higher security level for process and DUT monitoring.
ART-BORG® also secures the SAR measurement process by ensuring a higher security level than manual operations for quality control monitoring (process and smartphone).
ART-BORG® is recommended to measure the SAR of recent smartphones embedding more and more complex technologies (5G, MIMO...).

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Automated 6 axis arm robot
ART-Borg® automatically positions the smartphone on ART-MAN® phantoms according to the defined test plan. Once the SAR measurement done, the arm robot automatically repositions the device for the next measurement in a few seconds versus few minutes for manual handling.
Vacuum precision technology
SARBORG® robot arm vacuum generating circuit is a highly serviceable industrial vacuum pump paired with a control system. The venturi holder is designed with a specific plastic material (Siton®) to limit the electromagnetic waves interferences.
Plug & play smartphone dock
The innovative dock allows to position once for all the smartphone during the test sequence. ART-Borg® automatically picks and handles the smartphone from the dock at the begining of a sequence and replace it at the end. The six faces of a mobile phone as well as thousands tests can be performed in one click.
Enhanced software and exclusive features
The arm robot is easy to manage with SARLAB® advanced interface. ART-Borg® improves the measurement precision and the quality of the Native & Quality Control features of ART-MAN®. It allows to access to exclusive Automation features including smartphone positionings and repositionings. ART-Borg® enables new Advanced features for recent smartphones embedded technologies (proximity sensors, multiple emissions, 5G, ...).
Automated test plans
SAR measurement tests are fully programmable from the SARLAB®. ART-Borg® enables to automate, and autonomously performs any test plan including high numbers of tests (DUT positions, frequencies, modulations...).

ENHANCED SOFTWARE PERFORMANCES
ART-BORG® software upgrade improves the 4 main SARLAB® classes performances hereafter listed.
NATIVE +
Thanks to the accuracy and repeatability of the robot, ART-Borg® improves normative and advanced SAR measurements precision. The solution is particularly efficient for complex measurement scenarios: Mx SAR (multiple emissions measured in DUT real emission conditions), 5G nSA and MIMO.
AUTOMATION +
Upgraded by ART-Borg®, SARLAB® provides an exclusive access to the Automation features enabling to fully automate any normative and advanced SAR testing plan whatever its complexity may be. ART-Borg® performs in full autonomy long run test plans.
QUALITY CONTROL +
ART-Borg® improves the process and quality control. The measurement auto check function supervises the process and the DUT status. ART-Borg® also automatically rectifies the DUT positioning.
ADVANCED +
Advanced features are exclusive applications for complex signal measurement including Proximity sensors evaluation, Time Average SAR process (TAS) and a unique near-field Phase viewer.... . Advanced features are highly recommended for smartphones emitting in multiple RF emissions.
EXCLUSIVE SOFTWARE FEATURES
AUTOMATION +
Normative device positioning
The ART-Borg® solution allows a meticulous smartphone normative positioning. Perfect positioning is achieved on body phantom at any distance from 0mm (fulfilling then future IEC standard requirement) as well as on left and right head including challenging positions such as tilt and touch.
Linked with the Base Station automation feature, it allows fast and accurate automated sequence of SAR tests. Such solution reduces the manpower to its minimum and makes customized test plan very easy.
Normative auto repositioning
This unique option available with the ART-Borg® solution providing a turn key solution. It optimizes a smartphone positioning enhancing the overall measurement accuracy.
The Normative Auto Repositioning is particularly well suited for multicarrier emission (in particular 5G nSA) where the smartphone antenna are distant. In this particular case the device is automatically positioned for the first acquisition, repositioned for second scan, the SARLAB® software recombining both contributions in one single imaging.
