Radio Frequency Testing: Industry-Leading Signal & Integration Expertise

Our test & measurement expertise for RF & Microwave covers everything from wireless, radar, broadband and software-defined radio (SDR) to integrating and testing new protocols and applications. As well as custom solutions – including Infotainment & Wearables test platforms, channel emulators and protocol analyzers – we offer an award-winning line of radio frequency test equipment including Signal Generators, RF Record & Playbacks, and DOCSIS Design Verification Systems.

What is RF testing?

RF (Radio Frequency) and Microwave testing is the process of evaluating the performance, reliability, and signal integrity of electronic devices and systems that operate across high-frequency spectrums, from kilohertz up to 94 GHz. It’s essential in industries like automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and telecom where precision wireless communication is mission-critical.

Why RF & Microwave Testing Is So Essential— and Why Averna Stands Out

Many of our customers have considerable issues ensuring optimum RF performance and validating new functionality due to these common problems:

  • Higher and higher frequencies
  • More RF standards yet fewer test resources
  • Increased takt (test) time and slower throughput
  • Capturing large instantaneous bandwidths
  • Streaming large amounts of RF data

That’s why leading manufacturers turn to Averna. With our proven RF & Microwave expertise and custom-built test platforms, we help teams accelerate validation, scale production, and stay ahead of evolving standards—without sacrificing quality.

Radio Frequencies (RF)

  • Up to 94 GHz
  • Up/down converters to 40 GHz
  • Circuit/system simulation
  • Parametric testing
  • De-embedding / S-parameters

RF Signal & Protocol Testing is our Thing

Averna’s RF and microwave expertise spans a broad array of signal types and applications, ensuring robust testing across complex designs and industries.

Broadcast 

Our platforms handle broadcast signals such as AM/FM, XM/Sirius, RDS, DVB-S2, DOCSIS, and Iridium, offering full validation of both analog and digital modulation schemes.

Wireless and connectivity

We support all major protocols including Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax), Bluetooth and BTLE, cellular technologies (5G, 4G, 3G, CDMA, GPRS), as well as short-range standards like RFID and NFC.

Wireless power technologies 

We also validate wireless power technologies, such as Qi/WPC and AirFuel, by emulating charging conditions and measuring efficiency, heat dissipation, and communication over power.

RF power amplifiers 

We work with TWTA, GaN, GaAs, and LDMOS devices, performing non-linearity testing (e.g. TOI, P1dB) under thermal and load variation to provide stable output and long-term reliability.

These capabilities are deployed across demanding industries—aerospace and defense, telecommunications, automotive (including infotainment and V2X), consumer electronics, semiconductors, and life sciences—where both pre-silicon validation and high-volume post-silicon test coverage are necessary. Our systems are designed for precision, speed, and flexibility to ensure we help you overcome your challenges, and fast!

  • PEST Analysis: HALT/HASS testing to identify weak points in extreme environments
  • Test Platforms: RF validation for smartphones, medical devices testing, wireless infrastructure testing, set-top boxes, infotainment systems, connected cars and more
  • Systems Integration: End-to-end solutions including software, robotic integration services (fixtures, robotic handlers, chambers), and electrical design
  • Prototyping with NI FPGA: Custom rapid prototyping using NI PXI & FPGA for high-bandwidth RF applications like 5G, aerospace, and high-energy physics

Improving Automotive Radar Testing 

A Tier 1 automotive supplier approached us about improving radar unit verification during production testing. In a 24/7 manufacturing environment, our turnkey, in-line solution helped them speed up takt time, verify full functionality and prevent breakdowns. They were so impressed they ordered additional systems for their operations around the world.
