Following are some examples of how EPIC Technologies has partnered with our customers to meet their RF needs:
- A manufacturer of solid state electric meters needed to quickly roll out several new RF circuit board assemblies, each incorporating new RF
protocol designed to satisfy specific market segments. EPIC was able to partner with this manufacturer and assume the lead role as RF test developer
- designing, developing and launching RF test platforms on a turnkey basis as products came out of the design cycle. This allowed our customer to
focus more resources on the product design and enabled much faster time to market.
- An automotive aftermarket remote starter and alarm manufacturer needed an Electronics Manufacturing partner that could automate their RF functional
test systems to improve throughput and yields. EPIC worked with this customer to redefine and enhance the circuit layout, then develop test specifications
and an entirely new test platform on a turnkey basis. The result was a dramatic increase in throughput and a nearly 14% increase in test yield!
RF Test System Instrumentation Experience:
- Spectrum Analyzers
- Network Analyzers
- Power Meters
- RF Generators
- Frequency Counters
- Oscilloscopes
- BER/BIR Instrument interfacing
- Cable loss and matching
- Digital Multi-meters and signal switch units
