Where applicable, the standards used in the calibration process are traceable to the UK’s National Physical Laboratory. Calibrated by: Technical Manager Approved by: Director Please keep this certificate with the calibration document. When the probe is sent for a calibration check, please include the calibration document. Page 3 of 25 INTRODUCTION This Report presents measured calibration data for a particular Indexsar SAR probe (S/N M0024) only and describes the procedures used for characterisation and calibration. Indexsar probes are characterised using procedures that, where applicable, follow the recommendations of BSEN 622009-1 [Ref 1] & IEEE [Ref 2] standards. The procedures incorporate techniques for probe linearisation, isotropy assessment and determination of liquid factors (conversion factors). Calibrations are determined by comparing probe readings with analytical computations in canonical test geometries (waveguides) using normalised power inputs. Each step of the calibration procedure and the equipment used is described in the sections below. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE 1. Objectives The calibration process comprises four stages 1) Determination of the channel sensitivity factors which optimise the probe’s overall rotational isotropy in 2450MHz brain fluid 2) Determination of the channel sensitivity factors and angular offset of the X channel which together optimise the probe’s spherical isotropy in 2450MHz brain fluid 3) Numerical combination of the two sets of channel sensitivity factors to give both acceptable rotational isotropy and acceptable spherical isotropy values 4) At each frequency of interest, application of these channel sensitivity factors to model the exponential decay of SAR in a waveguide fluid cell, and hence derive the liquid conversion factors at that frequency 2. Probe output The probe channel output signals are linearised in the manner set out in Refs [1] and [2]. The following equation is utilized for each channel: U lin = U o/p + U o/p 2 / DCP (1) where U lin is the linearised signal, U o/p is the raw output signal in mV and DCP is the diode compression potential in similar voltage units. DCP is determined from fitting equation (1) to measurements of U lin versus source feed power over the full dynamic range of the probe. The DCP is a characteristic of the Schottky diodes used as the sensors. For the IXP-030 probes with CW signals the DCP values are typically 100mV. Conventionally, when used in conjunction with the SARA2 test jig, all measured voltages and voltage-derived values are quoted in units of V*200 Page 4 of 25 eg a DCP value of 100mV corresponds to 20 in V*200 units. Conversely, in the SARA C and HACSAR measurement systems, unmodified mV values are used throughout. As a consequence, the cal factors for this probe are listed in two tables, one for SARA2 and one for SARA C / HACSAR. In turn, measurements of E-field are determined using the following equation (where output voltages are also in units of mV): E liq 2 (V/m) = U linx * Air Factor x * Liq Factor x + U liny * Air Factor y * Liq Factor y + U linz * Air Factor z * Liq Factor z (2) Here, “Air Factor” represents each channel’s sensitivity, while “Liq Factor” represents the enhancement in signal level when the probe is immersed in tissue-simulant liquids at each frequency of interest. 3. Selecting channel sensitivity factors to optimise isotropic response After manufacture, the first stage of the calibration process is to balance the three channels’ Air Factor values, thereby optimising the probe’s overall axial response (“rotational isotropy”). To do this, a 2450MHz waveguide containing head-fluid simulant is selected. Like all waveguides used during probe calibration, this particular waveguide contains two distinct sections: an air-filled launcher section, and a liquid cell section, separated by a dielectric matching window designed to minimise reflections at the air-liquid interface. The waveguide stands in an upright position and the liquid cell section is filled with 2450MHz brain fluid to within 10 mm of the open end. The depth of liquid ensures there is negligible radiation from the waveguide open top and that the probe calibration is not influenced by reflections from nearby objects. During the measurement, a TE 01 mode is launched into the waveguide by means of an N-type-to-waveguide adapter. The probe is then lowered vertically into the liquid until the tip is exactly 10mm above the centre of …
