MVG Integrates Anritsu MT8000A with ComoSAR for Advanced 5G SAR Testing in FR1 Range

MVG (Microwave Vision Group), a leader in electromagnetic exposure measurement solutions, has successfully integrated the Anritsu Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A into its ComoSAR system. This integration, facilitated by custom drivers for OpenSAR software, extends support to the New Radio (NR) FR1 frequency range, operating below 7.125 GHz.

This development now enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurements on 5G-compatible devices, utilizing one of the industry’s most widely recognized radio communication testing platforms. With this integration, SAR testing labs can automate 5G FR1 Stand Alone (SA) calls for User Equipment (UE) at maximum power, meeting the requirements for test procedures. The system supports TS38 508-1 Test Frequencies, along with User Defined configurations, and offers LTE connectivity for MT8000A models equipped with this feature.

“Integrating our MT8000A solution into MVG’s ComoSAR system highlights Anritsu’s dedication to advancing 5G technology. The MT8000A is a highly adaptable platform that supports both 4G and 5G cellular standards for RF measurements, protocol, and application testing across FR1, FR2, and LTE. It replicates a cellular network environment, allowing precise SAR testing for mobile devices within a controlled radiated space and a wide dynamic range, delivering stable connectivity. We are excited to continue our partnership with MVG to support a safer and more connected world,” stated Keith Even, General Manager, National Sales, Anritsu America Sales Company.

Nicolas DOARE, MVG Area Sales Director – RFDA, added, “This integration simplifies workflows by providing pre-configured scenarios for SAR testing, including options for frequency bands, modulation schemes, and compliance with IEC and FCC regulations. Additionally, users can create custom testing scenarios tailored to their specific measurement needs.”
