Microwave Factory and Schmid ＆ Partner Engineering Sign Distributor Agreement
Microwave Factory Co.,Ltd (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; President: Toshiyasu Tanaka; hereinafter referred to as "Microwave Factory") has signed a distributor agreement with Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (Headquarters: Zurich, Switzerland; hereinafter referred to as " SPEAG "), the leading developer and manufacturer of electromagnetic (EM) near field evaluation systems including specific absorption rate ( SAR ) and power density test compliance assessment scanners . From December 1, 2023, Microwave Factory will begin sales and support of SPEAG’s advanced numerical tools and instrumentation in Japan.
Background and Overview
There is an increasing number of devices equipped with wireless communication functions not only smartphones and laptops but also home appliances and medical devices that need to meet Japanese radiofreque ncy ( RF regulation s and must be tested for SAR compliance in Japan for sale s i n the domestic market. The SAR is a measure used around the world to assess the rate at which energy is absorbed by a human body when exposed to RF EM waves SAR testing of wireless communication devices is mandatory to ensure that exposure emitted from these devices is compliant with existing exposure guidelines.
Microwave Factory has supplied many RF measurement system from R&D to the production phase. Th e new distributor agreement and associated representation of SPEAG’s unique product portfolio will allow us to offer a wider range of technical support and wireless performance testing performance testing services.
