Electrical, Mechanical, and Environmental Testing

Get Started

Radiation Patterns and Gain, Measured In-House

Get radiation pattern and gain measurements from 450 MHz to 7.2 GHz, including 2D and 3D elevation and azimuth plots. The chamber’s rotator handles up to 250 lb and antennas up to 6 ft long, with custom fixtures for unusual or oversize designs.

Feature Specification
Frequency 450 MHz–7.2 GHz
Rotator Capacity Up to 250 lb (113.4 kg)
Antenna Length Up to 6 ft (1.83 m)
Fixtures Custom-built for oversized antenna designs

RF & Electrical Testing

Characterization Reports for Your Antenna

Get the documentation your team needs to evaluate a design. Depending on the testing required, characterization reports include:

  • Impedance measurements
  • VSWR and return loss charts
  • Gain-over-frequency plots
  • 2D and 3D radiation patterns

Mechanical & Environmental Testing

Durability Testing for Real-World Conditions

Confirm your antenna can handle its installation before it ships, with in-house shock and vibration, hot and cold cycling, and water, salt fog, and dust ingress testing, including IP67 and IPX7.

Shock & Vibration

Mechanical stress testing
