Test Labs, Investigating our process

We have set up some tests to determine the impact of processes in the setup and operation of RF equipment has on the reliability of the RF system that is being operated. In each of these tests we have developed a rational for a testing protocol that provides us data giving us a better understanding of how to develop better practices for the set up and operation of RF equipment.
