What is RF Calibration?
RF calibration is the process of adjusting test equipment to align its output with traceable standards, typically those maintained by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). By regularly calibrating your equipment, you can minimise measurement uncertainty and ensure the accuracy of your data.
RF calibration services are essential for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of your RF test equipment. Precise measurements are vital as they ensure product quality, compliance with industry standards and efficient troubleshooting.
Why is the calibration of test equipment important?
Think of it as a routine checkup for your measurement tools, over time, test and measurement equipment, such as Power Meters, Spectrum Analysers, and Network Analysers, can drift from their original specifications due to factors like ageing components, environmental conditions and usage. This degradation in performance can lead to compromised product quality and costly errors. When calibrating your equipment, you avoid these deviations, maintaining reliability and preventing expensive errors.
ISO 9015:2015 Accredited
At APC, we understand the accuracy of your test equipment is paramount and selecting a calibration partner with proven expertise is crucial. APC Technology Group offers unparalleled calibration services backed by our ISO 17025 accreditation. This certification is a testament to our commitment to delivering the highest standards of precision and reliability. When you calibrate your equipment with APC, you can be assured of accurate measurements and optimised operational performance.
How often should electrical test equipment be calibrated?
As a general rule, a yearly calibration is recommended for most electrical test equipment. However, you may be required to calibrate your equipment more frequently depending on various factors, this can range from, the manufacturer’s recommendations, frequency of use, the environment in which the equipment is used and the inherent stability of the equipment.
