FAQs

RF test equipment measures, generates, and analyzes radio frequency signals in wireless communications, aerospace, defense, EMC, radar, satellite, and microwave applications. ATEC offers a broad catalog of RF test equipment to perform all of these duties.

Spectrum analyzers measure signal amplitude across frequency, while signal analyzers add advanced capabilities such as modulation analysis, vector signal analysis, and digital communications measurements.

ATEC offers ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services for a variety of RF and microwave test instruments through our A2LA accredited calibration laboratory.

Calibration intervals vary depending on usage and standards, but most RF equipment should be calibrated annually. High-usage equipment should be calibrated every 6 months on average. High-precision or regulated environments may require calibration as frequently as 3 - 6 months.

Selecting RF test equipment depends on several factors:

Application
Budget and required features
Measurement accuracy and dynamic range
Required frequency range
Signal type (analog, digital, modulated)

Renting RF test equipment avoids the upfront costs, avoiding large capital expenditures while still getting access to the high-performance instruments. This can be particularly helpful for those with budget constraints or short-term projects.
