4. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
4.1 Introduction
    SAR is related to the rate at which energy is absorbed per unit mass in an object exposed to a radio field. The SAR
    distribution in a biological body is complicated and is usually carried out by experimental techniques or numerical
    modeling. The standard recommends limits for two tiers of groups, occupational/controlled and general
    population/uncontrolled, based on a person’s awareness and ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. In
    general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are higher than the limits for general population/uncontrolled.


4.2 SAR Definition
    The SAR definition is the time derivative (rate) of the incremental energy (dW) absorbed by (dissipated in) an
    incremental mass (dm) contained in a volume element (dv) of a given density (ρ). The equation description is as
    below:

    SAR is expressed in units of Watts per kilogram (W/kg)
    SAR measurement can be either related to the temperature elevation in tissue by
                                                                𝛅𝐓

    Where: C is the specific heat capacity, δT is the temperature rise and δt is the exposure duration, or related to the
    electrical field in the tissue by

                                                              𝛔|𝐄|𝟐

5.7 Device Holder
    <Device Holder for SAM Twin Phantom>
    The SAR in the phantom is approximately inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source
    and the liquid surface. For a source at 5 mm distance, a positioning uncertainty of ± 0.5 mm would produce a SAR
    uncertainty of ± 20 %. Accurate device positioning is therefore crucial for accurate and repeatable measurements.
    The positions in which the devices must be measured are defined by the standards.
    The DASY device holder is designed to cope with different positions given in the standard. It has two scales for the
    device rotation (with respect to the body axis) and the device inclination (with respect to the line between the ear
    reference points). The rotation center for both scales is the ear reference point (ERP). Thus the device needs no
    repositioning when changing the angles.
    The DASY device holder is constructed of low-loss POM material having the following dielectric parameters: relative
    permittivity ε = 3 and loss tangent δ = 0.02. The amount of dielectric material has been reduced in the closest vicinity
    of the device, since measurements have suggested that the influence of the clamp on the test results could thus be
    lowered.

    <Laptop Extension Kit>
    The extension is lightweight and made of POM, acrylic glass and foam. It fits easily on the upper part of the mounting
    device in place of the phone positioned. The extension is fully compatible with the SAM Twin and ELI phantoms.

5.8 Data Storage and Evaluation
5.7.1 Data Storage
       The DASY software stores the assessed data from the data acquisition electronics as raw data (in microvolt
       readings from the probe sensors), together with all the necessary software parameters for the data evaluation
       (probe calibration data, liquid parameters and device frequency and modulation data) in measurementfiles. The
       post—processing software evaluates the desired unit and format for output each time the data is visualized or
       exported. This allows verification of the complete software setup even after the measurement and allows correction
       of erroneous parameter settings. For example, if a measurement has been performed with an incorrect crest factor
       parameter in the device setup, the parameter can be corrected afterwards and the data can be reevaluated.

       The measured data can be visualized or exported in different units or formats, depending on the selected probe
       type (e.g., [V/im], [A/m], [mW/g]). Some of these units are not available in certain situations or give meaningless
       results, e.g., a SAR—output in a non—lose media, will always be zero. Raw data can also be exported to perform the
       evaluation with other software packages.


5.7.2 Data Evaluation
       The DASY post—processing software (SEMCAD) automatically executes the following procedures to calculate the
       field units from the microvolt readings at the probe connector. The parameters used in the evaluation are stored in
       the configuration modules of the software :
         Probe parameters :          — Sensitivity                          Norm; &o, an, &

       These parameters must be set correctly in the software. They can be found in the component documents or they
       can be imported into the software from the configuration files issued for the DASY components. in the direct
       measuring mode of the multi—meter option, the parameters of the actual system setup are used. In the scan
       visualization and export modes, the parameters stored in the corresponding documentfiles are used.

       The first step of the evaluation is a linearization of the fitered input signal to account for the compression
       characteristics of the detector diode. The compensation depends on the input signal, the diode type and the
       DC—transmission factor from the diode to the evaluation electronics. If the exciting field is pulsed, the crest factor of
       the signal must be known to correctly compensate for peak power.

Note:
 1.   The calibration certificate of DASY can be referred to appendix C of this report.
 2.   Referring to KDB 865664 D01v01r01, the dipole calibration interval can be extended to 3 years with justification.
      The dipoles are also not physically damaged, or repaired during the interval.
 3.   The Insertion Loss calibration of Dual Directional Coupler and Attenuator were characterized via the network
      analyzer and compensated during system check.
 4.   In system check we need to monitor the level on the power meter, and adjust the power amplifier level to have
      precise power level to the dipole; the measured SAR will be normalized to 1W input power according to the ratio of
      1W to the input power to the dipole. For system check, the calibration of the power amplifier is deemed not critically
      required for correct measurement; the power meter is critical and we do have calibration for it
 5.   Attenuator 1 insertion loss is calibrated by the network Analyzer, which the calibration is valid, before system
      check.

6. Tissue Simulating Liquids
    For the measurement of the field distribution inside the SAM phantom with DASY, the phantom must be filled with
    around 25 liters of homogeneous body tissue simulating liquid. For head SAR testing, the liquid height from the ear
    reference point (ERP) of the phantom to the liquid top surface is larger than 15 cm, which is shown in Fig. 6.1. For
    body SAR testing, the liquid height from the center of the flat phantom to the liquid top surface is larger than 15 cm,
    which is shown in Fig. 6.2.

7. System Verification Procedures
    Each DASY system is equipped with one or more system validation kits. These units, together with the predefined
    measurement procedures within the DASY software, enable the user to conduct the system performance check and
    system validation. System validation kit includes a dipole, tripod holder to fix it underneath the flat phantom and a
    corresponding distance holder.



7.1 Purpose of System Performance check
    The system performance check verifies that the system operates within its specifications. System and operator errors
    can be detected and corrected. It is recommended that the system performance check be performed prior to any
    usage of the system in order to guarantee reproducible results. The system performance check uses normal SAR
    measurements in a simplified setup with a well characterized source. This setup was selected to give a high
    sensitivity to all parameters that might fail or vary over time. The system check does not intend to replace the
    calibration of the components, but indicates situations where the system uncertainty is exceeded due to drift or
    failure.



7.2 System Setup
    In the simplified setup for system evaluation, the EUT is replaced by a calibrated dipole and the power source is
    replaced by a continuous wave that comes from a signal generator. The calibrated dipole must be placed beneath the
    flat phantom section of the SAM twin phantom with the correct distance holder. The distance holder should touch the
    phantom surface with a light pressure at the reference marking and be oriented parallel to the long side of the
    phantom. The equipment setup is shown below:

9. Measurement Procedures
   The measurement procedures are as follows:

   <Conducted power measurement>
   (a) For WWAN power measurement, use base station simulator to configure EUT WWAN transmission in conducted
       connection with RF cable, at maximum power in each supported wireless interface and frequency band.
   (b) Read the WWAN RF power level from the base station simulator.
   (c) For WLAN/BT power measurement, use engineering software to configure EUT WLAN/BT continuously
       transmission, at maximum RF power in each supported wireless interface and frequency band
   (d) Connect EUT RF port through RF cable to the power meter, and measure WLAN/BT output power

   <SAR measurement>
   (a) Use base station simulator to configure EUT WWAN transmission in radiated connection, and engineering
       software to configure EUT WLAN/BT continuously transmission, at maximum RF power, in the highest power
       channel.
   (b) Place the EUT in the positions as Appendix E demonstrates.
   (c) Set scan area, grid size and other setting on the DASY software.
   (d) Measure SAR results for the highest power channel on each testing position.
   (e) Find out the largest SAR result on these testing positions of each band
   (f) Measure SAR results for other channels in worst SAR testing position if the reported SAR of highest power
       channel is larger than 0.8 W/kg

         According to the test standard, the recommended procedure for assessing the peak spatial-average SAR value
         consists of the following steps:
   (a)    Power reference measurement
   (b)    Area scan
   (c)    Zoom scan
   (d)    Power drift measurement

9.1 Spatial Peak SAR Evaluation
    The procedure for spatial peak SAR evaluation has been implemented according to the test standard. It can be
    conducted for 1g and 10g, as well as for user-specific masses. The DASY software includes all numerical
    procedures necessary to evaluate the spatial peak SAR value.
    The base for the evaluation is a "cube" measurement. The measured volume must include the 1g and 10g cubes
    with the highest averaged SAR values. For that purpose, the center of the measured volume is aligned to the
    interpolated peak SAR value of a previously performed area scan.
    The entire evaluation of the spatial peak values is performed within the post-processing engine (SEMCAD). The
    system always gives the maximum values for the 1g and 10g cubes. The algorithm to find the cube with highest
    averaged SAR is divided into the following stages:
    (a)   Extraction of the measured data (grid and values) from the Zoom Scan
    (b)   Calculation of the SAR value at every measurement point based on all stored data (A/D values and
          measurement parameters)
    (c)   Generation of a high-resolution mesh within the measured volume
    (d)   Interpolation of all measured values form the measurement grid to the high-resolution grid
    (e)   Extrapolation of the entire 3-D field distribution to the phantom surface over the distance from sensor to surface
    (f)   Calculation of the averaged SAR within masses of 1g and 10g


9.2 Power Reference Measurement
    The Power Reference Measurement and Power Drift Measurements are for monitoring the power drift of the device
    under test in the batch process. The minimum distance of probe sensors to surface determines the closest
    measurement point to phantom surface. This distance cannot be smaller than the distance of sensor calibration
    points to probe tip as defined in the probe properties.

9.3 Area & Zoom Scan Procedures
    First Area Scan is used to locate the approximate location(s) of the local peak SAR value(s). The measurement grid
    within an Area Scan is defined by the grid extent, grid step size and grid offset. Next, in order to determine the EM
    field distribution in a three-dimensional spatial extension, Zoom Scan is required. The Zoom Scan is performed
    around the highest E-field value to determine the averaged SAR-distribution over 10 g. Area scan and zoom scan
    resolution setting follows KDB 865664 D01v01 quoted below.


    For any secondary peaks found in the area scan which are within 2 dB of the maximum peak and are not within this
    zoom scan, the zoom scan should be repeated

9.4 Volume Scan Procedures
    The volume scan is used for assess overlapping SAR distributions for antennas transmitting in different frequency
    bands. It is equivalent to an oversized zoom scan used in standalone measurements. The measurement volume will
    be used to enclose all the simultaneous transmitting antennas. For antennas transmitting simultaneously in different
    frequency bands, the volume scan is measured separately in each frequency band. In order to sum correctly to
    compute the 1g aggregate SAR, the EUT remain in the same test position for all measurements and all volume scan
    use the same spatial resolution and grid spacing. When all volume scan were completed, the software, SEMCAD
    postprocessor can combine and subsequently superpose these measurement data to calculating the multiband
    SAR.


9.5 SAR Averaged Methods
    In DASY, the interpolation and extrapolation are both based on the modified Quadratic Shepard’s method. The
    interpolation scheme combines a least-square fitted function method and a weighted average method which are the
    two basic types of computational interpolation and approximation.
    Extrapolation routines are used to obtain SAR values between the lowest measurement points and the inner
    phantom surface. The extrapolation distance is determined by the surface detection distance and the probe sensor
    offset. The uncertainty increases with the extrapolation distance. To keep the uncertainty within 1% for the 1 g and
    10 g cubes, the extrapolation distance should not be larger than 5 mm.


9.6 Power Drift Monitoring
    All SAR testing is under the EUT install full charged battery and transmit maximum output power. In DASY
    measurement software, the power reference measurement and power drift measurement procedures are used for
    monitoring the power drift of EUT during SAR test. Both these procedures measure the field at a specified reference
    position before and after the SAR testing. The software will calculate the field difference in dB. If the power drifts
    more than 5%, the SAR will be retested.

Note:
1.    Per KDB 248227 D01 v01r02, choose the highest output power channel to test SAR and determine further SAR
      exclusion
2.    For each frequency band, testing at higher data rates and higher order modulations is not required when the
      maximum average output power for each of these configurations is less than 1/4dB higher than those measured at
      the lowest data rate.

Note:
1.    Per KDB 248227 D01 v01r02, choose the highest output power channel to test SAR and determine further SAR
      exclusion
2.    For each frequency band, testing at higher data rates and higher order modulations is not required when the
      maximum average output power for each of these configurations is less than 1/4dB higher than those measured at
      the lowest data rate.
3.    Apply the test exclusion rule in KDB 248227 D01 v01r02, 11n-HT20/HT40 and 11ac-VHT20/VHT40 output power is
      less than 1/4dB higher than 802.11n-HT20 mode, thus the SAR can be excluded.
4.    For 802.11ac SAR evaluation for each frequency band, 802.11n VHT80 will verified at the worst case found in
      802.11a SAR testing.

12. SAR Test Results
Note:
1.     Per KDB 447498 D01v05r01, the reported SAR is the measured SAR value adjusted for maximum tune-up tolerance.
           Scaling Factor = tune-up limit power (mW) / EUT RF power (mW), where tune-up limit is the maximum rated
           power among all production units.
           Reported SAR(W/kg)= Measured SAR(W/kg)* Scaling Factor
2.     Per KDB 447498 D01v05r01, for each exposure position, if the highest output channel reported SAR ≤0.8W/kg, other
       channels SAR testing is not necessary.

Note:
1. Per KDB 865664 D01v01, for each frequency band, repeated SAR measurement is required only when the measured
    SAR is ≥0.8W/kg
2. Per KDB 865664 D01v01, if the ratio among the repeated measurement is ≤ 1.2 and the measured SAR <1.45W/kg,
    only one repeated measurement is required.
3. The ratio is the difference in percentage between original and repeated measured SAR.
4. All measurement SAR result is scaled-up to account for tune-up tolerance and is compliant.

14. Uncertainty Assessment
    The component of uncertainly may generally be categorized according to the methods used to evaluate them. The
    evaluation of uncertainly by the statistical analysis of a series of observations is termed a Type An evaluation of
    uncertainty. The evaluation of uncertainty by means other than the statistical analysis of a series of observation is
    termed a Type B evaluation of uncertainty. Each component of uncertainty, however evaluated, is represented by an
    estimated standard deviation, termed standard uncertainty, which is determined by the positive square root of the
    estimated variance.

    A Type A evaluation of standard uncertainty may be based on any valid statistical method for treating data. This
    includes calculating the standard deviation of the mean of a series of independent observations; using the method of
    least squares to fit a curve to the data in order to estimate the parameter of the curve and their standard deviations; or
    carrying out an analysis of variance in order to identify and quantify random effects in certain kinds of measurement.

    A type B evaluation of standard uncertainty is typically based on scientific judgment using all of the relevant
    information available. These may include previous measurement data, experience, and knowledge of the behavior
    and properties of relevant materials and instruments, manufacture’s specification, data provided in calibration reports
    and uncertainties assigned to reference data taken from handbooks. Broadly speaking, the uncertainty is either
    obtained from an outdoor source or obtained from an assumed distribution, such as the normal distribution,
    rectangular or triangular distributions indicated in Table 12.1

      Uncertainty Distributions               Normal            Rectangular            Triangular             U-Shape

    (a) standard uncertainty is determined as the product of the multiplying factor and the estimated range of
        variations in the measured quantity
    (b) κ is the coverage factor
                            Table 12.1 Standard Uncertainty for Assumed Distribution

    The combined standard uncertainty of the measurement result represents the estimated standard deviation of the
    result. It is obtained by combining the individual standard uncertainties of both Type A and Type B evaluation using
    the usual “root-sum-squares” (RSS) methods of combining standard deviations by taking the positive square root of
    the estimated variances.

    Expanded uncertainty is a measure of uncertainty that defines an interval about the measurement result within which
    the measured value is confidently believed to lie. It is obtained by multiplying the combined standard uncertainty by a
    coverage factor. Typically, the coverage factor ranges from 2 to 3. Using a coverage factor allows the true value of a
    measured quantity to be specified with a defined probability within the specified uncertainty range. For purpose of this
    document, a coverage factor two is used, which corresponds to confidence interval of about 95 %. The DASY
    uncertainty Budget is shown in the following tables.
