Validation Antennas for IEC 62209-3 (AVALSET-3V2)

AVALSET-3V2 is the set of antennas and accessories defined by IEC 62209-3 to validate the performance of any vector measurement-based SAR system (e.g., array system). The manufacturers of these systems are obliged to validate the system if it is used for certification.

AVALSET-3V2 also empowers regulators and users to independently verify the manufacturer-stated specifications. Validation warranties consistent results, independent of the device being measured.

Validation of the performance of any vector measurement-based SAR system and verification of the uncertainty budget. 

Validation is in accordance with IEC 62209-3:2019 and the latest draft IEC 62209-3 that employs a more robust validation method.
