Technical features and benefits

Technical benefits

The PMK features technologies usually found in more expensive equipment at an affordable price. The ability to measure the S11 parameter for dipoles and antennas while continuously monitoring their linear behaviour differentiates the PMK from other systems.

Zero moving parts
Good amplifier gain
Low SNR
Automation and fewer connections improves consistency and repeatability
S11 parameter measurement and outstanding software control
Integrated power meter DAkkS Calibrated to meet IEEE/IEC/FCC SAR requirements
Best-in-class with the highest precision and accuracy
Save time spent on dealing with RF inconsistency or workarounds
Optional: built in synthesizer output power source if required
Future-proof for advanced evolving technologies and processes, all-in-one power monitoring system

We also offer dipoles

Extremely accurate and 100% compliant dipoles developed and manufactured by IMST GmbH to the highest standards in the industry. >> View the slides >>

Who benefits from the ART-Fi PMK validation solution?

Labs & Certification Organizations

Test labs have a daily requirement to ensure SAR measurements are highly accurate. SAR systems must be vigorously checked to ensure the measuring accuracy meets the system manufacturer uncertainty budget.

Verification or validation should be performed in the following circumstances:

When a system is newly installed
When a software is updated
Before a SAR test is performed on a specific frequency band
When the system moves location
When the operating ambient temperature drift is more than 2 degrees

Mobile manufacturers

Manufacturers using SAR systems for pre-compliance testing or R&D testing are encouraged to perform verifications of their SAR systems to have meaningful data.

Where in the past, such checks might have been laborious due to setup, repeatability issues and cost, ART-Fi PMK makes it easy to keep their equipment in top shape.

Legacy SAR validation systems are complex

For many years now, SAR system validation has been seen as a necessary evil and a hindrance to test lab performance. This is in part due to complex systems that often failed.

Our PMK validates automatically with only three connectors

The ART-Fi PMK is an all-in-one solution that requires only three connections to perform automatic, highly precise validations and verifications. The lack of moving parts also leads to improved durability and fewer bugs, faults, and workarounds.
