Test & Measurements Applications
Our innovative fiber-sensor technologies have successfully evolved into unique test and measurement solutions for a broad range of scientific and engineering fields. Please have a look at the application areas where our test & measurement solutions provide unprecedented advantages that will lead to substantial cost and time saving.
Examples of Applications and Unique Features
- Pinpoint power “hot-spots” in circuits or other RF hardware
- Identify precise location of RF emissions and EMI sources
- Locate specific sources of cross-talk and radiation from within a circuit
- Observe the separate amplitude and phase responses of parallel signal paths at the internal nodes of circuits (e.g., in a power-amplifier circuit)
- Separate the electrical responses of individual stages of a circuit or individual modules of a system
- Compact-range measurements of antennas without disruption to the antenna
- Individual element level troubleshooting of antenna-array underperformance
- In situ calibration of phased-array antennas
- Highly detailed, non-invasive, reactive-near-field characterization of new antenna prototypes
- Characterization of near-field-power-transfer beams
- Field measurements from DC to 100 GHz without changing probe or instrumentation
- Probe the interior of an enclosure for characterization of packaged circuits or for RF leak-testing of the package
- Characterize the interaction of RF fields, such as those from MRI, with medical instruments and implants
- Interference-free measurement of the spatial dependence of high-power-microwave (HPM) signals for the characterization of human effects
- Determine locations susceptible to arcing in RF manufacturing applications
- Characterization of electrical and magnetic RF properties of materials, including anisotropic media
