RF Test Benches
FIME laboratory equipment qualified for RF testing
Validate the analogue behaviour of RF devices with a single set of laboratory tools and services before seeking contactless Level 1 type approval or launching mass production. FIME RF test benches are built for RF testing of:
• EMV contactless cards and readers;
• ICAO e-passports and readers;
• ISO devices (PICC and PCD),
• HF and UHF RFID tags and readers.
FIME RF test benches for EMV cards and readers are officially qualified by EMVCo for type approval testing. Thanks to FIME’s automation software and robot, manufacturers can accelerate RF testing of EMV Contactless 2.0.1 devices. FIME proposes its EMV test bench for in-house RF testing with an on-site installation service and training.
FIME also offers a robotic test environment to automate RF interoperability and combination testing between readers and devices. The robot is built to make contactless transactions with a determined speed at set positions in the RF operating volume of the reader, creating a 3D mapping of the interoperable areas.
FIME RF test bench for ICAO includes both reader testing and fully automated e-passports testing according to ICAO RF standards.
As for ISO RF standards, FIME RF test bench goes beyond the official ISO test plan with a set of tools designed to help investigate product performances further. Additionally, the test bench stands ready to test smaller form factors as defined in the ISO 14443 and 10373-6 specifications.
