3D Antenna Chamber

We specialize in on-site antenna patterning with a new Automated 3D Antenna Measurement System. This system quickly and efficiently collects spherical antenna pattern data, then generates antenna plots and performance summaries that provide detailed insight into the performance of a product’s antenna design.

Flexible Laboratory Space

Benches, test stations, and equipment are mobile, allowing the workspace to adapt to your product, rather than the product having to conform to the space. Flexible laboratory strategy can reduce test setup time, and provide greater consistency in test configurations. Equipped with both horizontal and vertical ground planes.

Capacities include:

Electrically Fast Transient Immunity
Lightning Surge
Electrostatic Discharge
Magnetic Field Immunity
Radiated/Conducted Disturbances
Voltage Fluctuations/Short Interrupts

Certification News and Updates

In this update, we discuss the UKCA mark, the indicator of regulatory compliance in the UK. The UKCA mark is used analogous to how the CE mark is used in the EU. We address in this update what the UKCA mark is and when it is used.

Also, A new conformity assessment procedure entered into force February 25th, 2021 for Mexico that will impact all Radio/Telcom products. Certificates, including modular approvals issued under the previous type approval procedures, will only continue to be valid if they were issued to the actual importer. Modular approvals also require the certificate to also mention the host product, along with the associated HS code for the host product. Any certificate that does not meet these requirements after February 25th, 2021 cannot be imported and will require re-assessment under one of the new assessment process schemes.
