Environmental & Thermal Screening
Antennas undergo temperature cycling, humidity, vibration, and shock testing to verify survivability in harsh field, maritime, and aerospace environments before deployment.
Ensure your antennas survive extreme heat, vibration, humidity, and altitude before deployment. Micro-Ant's AS9100-certified US facility delivers rigorous environmental screening alongside RF characterization, giving defense, aerospace, and satellite programs confidence their hardware performs in the field.
Comprehensive testing and screening services that validate antenna performance under real-world operating conditions.
Antennas undergo temperature cycling, humidity, vibration, and shock testing to verify survivability in harsh field, maritime, and aerospace environments before deployment.
Spherical and planar near-field chambers characterize antennas from 750 MHz to 40 GHz, validating gain, pattern, and polarization across extreme operating conditions.
