Radio equipment testing
Radio equipment testing evaluates the frequency spectrum and the efficient use of designated frequencies. All devices that utilize the RF spectrum fall under the category of radio equipment.
Standards define the techniques and conditions for testing various equipment and devices. Certain test methods require extreme environmental conditions as specified by the applicant.
Our laboratories are fully equipped to meet all testing requirements under diverse environmental conditions. This setup permits the use of temperature chambers for extreme temperature conditions and voltage power supplies to alter the power of the equipment being tested.
The most common test procedures include:
- Effective Radiated Power (ERP)
- Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP)
- Average power (conducted)
- Transient power
- Duty cycle of the device
- Spread spectrum modulation
- Frequency error
- Modulation bandwidth for wideband devices
- Frequency stability under low voltage conditions
- Spurious emissions
- Adjacent channel power
- Permissible frequency range
- Permissible frequency range for modulation bandwidth
