Testing Capabilities

Mechanical Shock

We can test a device's capacity for sudden and extreme acceleration or deceleration, like those seen in a space launch and atmosphere re-entry.

Multipaction Testing

We can simulate the 'multipactor' phenomenon, where charged particles encounter radio frequency technology, and electron multiplication follows. This can lead to severe damage or destruction of a component.

Vibration Testing

This testing is the application of motion to a component to observe its response or degradation over time. The aim is to help detect and identify faults or potential failures.

EMC & Environmental

We can test a component's ability to function in an environment with electromagnetic disturbances. Environmental testing allows for the simulation of a vacuum and conditions encountered in space.
