RF & EMC Test and Measurement at Technical Center - ARFM

03/06/2014

  1. Overview

With about 15 years of development, the RF (Radio Frequency) and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Testing and Measurement Division, directly under Technical Center of Authority of Radio Frequency Management - ARFM has become a leading laboratory in RF & EMC Test and Measurement field in Vietnam.

Derived from the requirements of national RF&EMC management, such as the need of product quality certification, products research and design etc., a 3 meter EMC anechoic chamber has been established and put into operation since July, 2011 to enhance the capability of RF&EMC test and measurement systems.

Since the launching of the new EMC testing system (including a 3-meters EMC anechoic chamber) in 2011, our laboratory has been used to test around 1000 samples/year for type approval certification and standard conformity declaration conducted by Ministry of Information and Communications of Viet Nam (MIC) as well as for research and design purposes.

Our test and measurement capacity is fully complied with the requirements of national standards as well as international standards and covers a wide range of equipment that can be tested. Our customers are Manufactures, Importers, Telecommunication Corp., and Research Institute…(e.g. Viettel Research & Development Institute, Panasonic Viet Nam, Samsung Viet Nam, Canon…)

  1. Personnel

Our personnel are 100% highly qualified engineers who have been trained methodically and have a lot of experience in EMC&RF test and measurement. With this team, our laboratory reaches the ability to provide valuable and reliable test services to customers.
