What is Radio and Wireless Device Testing?

Radio and wireless device testing involves evaluating the performance and compliance of wireless communication equipment such as smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, and Bluetooth devices. This process examines factors like signal quality, transmission range, interference resistance, and adherence to industry standards. By conducting rigorous testing, manufacturers can ensure their devices meet regulatory requirements and perform reliably in various environments. Testing and certification are used to demonstrate the safe, efficient use of devices with integrated radio and wireless technology.

How is radio testing performed?

Testing is performed to ensure that transmitters have the correct bandwidth, power, spectral density etc, and that receivers have the required level of sensitivity and resilience to other signals.

Chipset vs. radio modules solutions?

Radio products may use chipset solutions or may use off-the-shelf radio modules – the two routes can have vastly different radio testing and certification requirements. Radio modules may have some existing test evidence or certification that can be leveraged. ²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s experts help you prepare for radio compliance testing and support you with the chipset and module implementation process.
