Radiated spurious emissions testing comes to Korea

RFI Global Services has installed a specially commissioned radiated spurious emissions chamber at its test facility in South Korea, which was opened in June last year. With an investment of GBP 500,000, the fully automated radiated spurious emissions (RSE) measurement chamber will provide accredited RSE measurements on cellular devices defined within TS51.010-1 and EN301908-1. The RSE facility involved the collaboration of a number of suppliers and took 3 months to complete.

It includes a Rainford fully lined anechoic chamber with Orbit DUT positioning system and a Rohde and Schwarz TS9976 measurement system.

The chamber is fully accredited by UKAS for 2G and 3G handset testing and is unique in that it is the only facility to include a 3D positioner system.

To date RFI's investment in its Korean facility exceeds GBP 4 million.

The growth in cellular terminal manufacturing and development in East Asia is such that 60% of RFI's cellular testing demand now comes from Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China.

As part of the test and compliance process, Manufacturers must test for and certify that the output spectrum of their products meets the relevant criteria as to radiated levels for all spurious emissions.

RFI is currently the only company able to provide full 2G and 3G approvals worldwide.
