RF Signal Testing

RF Signal Testing Services by BDA Compliance

Our modern society constantly deals with radio waves. Airwaves can get congested, that’s why setup and RF Signal Testing are important. RF is a short form of radio frequency, which is the rate at which the radio waves vibrate. Radio frequency testing is a way to check the frequency of your radio broadcasts to ensure that they use their space on the spectrum correctly and efficiently. Efficiency means that the radio waves don’t interfere with each other in the air space. For RF Testing services, you can trust our technicians at BDA Compliance.

Significance of Conducting RF Tests

RF Signal Testing is performed to check whether the product remains within the guidelines of emission strength and wavelength. The testing is done to check that the device is working within the guidelines of government regulations. If the device doesn’t meet these regulations, then they can result in an attenuation problem. This is where the RF Test comes to play its role by checking the signs that the device may cause issues. The following are the primary components of RF Signal Testing:

Signal Strength

To determine the coverage area of a wireless network, it is important to understand the strength of an RF signal. We use different measurement tools like spectrum analyzers and signal strength meters to assess signal strength accurately.

Signal Quality

RF signal quality is assessed by determining factors such as signal-to-noise ratio and signal clarity. Poor signal quality can result in data transmission errors and degrade the performance of a device.

Frequency Range

Different devices operate on specific frequency bands. RF Signal Testing ensures that signals fall within the designated frequency range. Frequency counters and analyzers help identify and monitor the frequency spectrum.

Interference Analysis

Interference from other electronic tools or external sources can affect signal reliability. Radio Frequency Testing tools can identify and analyze interference sources, allowing for effective troubleshooting.

RF Measurement Equipment We Use

Our technicians at BDA Compliance use different types of RF measurement equipment to test different components and systems. We have extensive experience in RF Compliance testing. We are involved in implementing methodology and testing that has been utilized to meet FCC requirements. Our testers use several RF Test and Measurement Equipment, such as:

Network Analyzers

Spectrum Analyzers

RF Signal Generators

RF Communication Service Monitors

NTSC Video Pattern Generators

NTSC Video Measurement Sets

RF Power Meters Synthesized

Microwave Frequency Counters

RF Test and Measurement Criteria We Follow

The best thing about our certified technicians is that they perform testing and configuration using several RF equipment adhering to strict performance specifications and operational needs. If the product doesn’t perform as expected because of normal component variations, we can examine the problem, find the reason, and repair the defect. Our measurement criteria revolve around:

Center and bandwidth frequency calculation and specifications

Dynamic range specifications

Attenuation testing

Return loss testing

VSWR and conversion loss

Radio Frequency Compliance Testing Services

BDA Compliance has experience in the RF Testing and certification of the installation of wireless communication devices, including DAS in buildings, two-way radios, BDA Systems, etc. Our technicians always stay up-to-date with regulatory changes and can help you in meeting test and certification requirements. You can expect a one-stop solution for all kinds of RF Testing under one roof. Our radio frequency test covers technology such as Zigbee, RMP radio, Wi-Fi, GPS, cellular technologies, NFC, and more. Now, it has become a necessity to meet mandatory requirements when performing RF Tests. Testing can be performed to check the device’s RF immunity which measures its capability to manage interference from other devices.

Cellular and Public Safety RF Testing Services

When it comes to testing cellular and public safety radio frequencies (RF), RF testing typically involves collecting multiple measurements. These measurements include signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio, signal quality, and data transfer rates from both RF sources outside of buildings and those being transmitted within them. The measurements are taken at different locations within the test area to provide a complete view of the network’s performance and gather extensive data.
