Radiofrequency (RF) Testing
DEKRA evaluates the applicable Radio Frequency (RF) requirements that electronic devices or components must meet to comply with national and international standards and regulations. With a wide range of supported technologies and state-of-the-art laboratories, DEKRA provides comprehensive RF testing solutions, from early R&D and Design Validation to final certification.
About RF Testing
RF testing evaluates the radio performance and spectrum behaviour of wireless devices and components. It includes measurements of transmission power, spurious emissions, receiver sensitivity, and protocol-specific behaviours.
RF compliance is mandatory for market access of wireless products, ranging from short-range radios to complex applications like 5G and automotive technologies
DEKRA’s RF services encompass regulatory, telecom operator, and industry-specific test requirements, providing support for pre-compliance testing, debugging, benchmarking, and final certification.
