Radio equipment testing

Radio Equipment Testing considers frequency spectrum and rational usage of the dedicated frequencies. All devices using the RF spectrum (intentional radiators that are using the spectrum to communicate) are considered radio equipment.

The Radio Equipment Directive refers to the communication with the host or other devices via specifically dedicated frequencies using ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical devices; communication procedures, e.g. RFID, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, etc.). It is also necessary to consider specific RF bands that are used by the government or private stations, which require special permits from the authority.

All techniques and terms of testing are usually given by the standards, for different classes of the equipment. Some test methods require extreme environmental conditions (as defined by the applicant), to be combined with the measurements. Our Laboratory center can meet all the requirements of environmental conditions during the requested tests. This allows us to use the temperature chamber for extreme temperature conditions and voltage power supplies, to variate the power of the equipment under test.

The most common test procedures are:

  • Frequency error and stability measurements
  • ERP, EIRP, Average or RF Output power measurements
  • Transient power measurements
  • Adjacent channel power measurements
  • Spurious emissions
  • Duty cycle measurements
  • Power spectral density
  • Adaptivity
  • Occupied channel bandwidth
