In-lab vs on-site calibration

In-lab calibration

  • Accredited bench with full reference standards
  • Best achievable measurement uncertainties
  • Pickup & return logistics handled
  • Ideal for precision and reference work

On-site calibration

  • We calibrate the RF and Microwave Instrument at your facility
  • No shipping risk or transit downtime
  • As-found data captured before any move
  • Ideal for fixed, large or sensitive assets

In-depth guide

Companies that use devices that depend on radio frequency and microwaves must perform periodic and accurate calibrations of their equipment and tools. A reliable laboratory with a wide range of magnitudes calibrating Radio frequency and microwave equipment is vital for your production area.

Frequently asked questions

What is RF and Microwave Instrument Calibration?
RF and Microwave Instrument Calibration is the documented comparison of an RF and Microwave Instrument against NIST-traceable reference standards under ISO/IEC 17025, measuring its error and measurement uncertainty and confirming it performs within tolerance.
How often should an RF and Microwave Instrument be calibrated?
Most quality systems calibrate an RF and Microwave Instrument every 12 months, and sooner after repair, overload or heavy use. Follow the manufacturer specification and your ISO 9001/13485/AS9100 program.
What standards apply to RF and Microwave Instrument Calibration?
Calibration is performed under ISO/IEC 17025 with NIST-traceable references and the relevant manufacturer specification. Techmaster is ANAB-accredited.
What is included on the certificate?
An ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 certificate with as-found and as-left results and the measurement uncertainty for each point.
Can you calibrate the RF and Microwave Instrument on-site?
Yes. Techmaster offers in-lab calibration with pickup and on-site service across the USA to minimize downtime.

Need RF and Microwave Instrument calibration?

ANAB-accredited, NIST-traceable, fast turnaround, in-lab or on-site across the USA.
