What to include in your request
The more of this you can give us up front, the faster and more accurate the quote. If you do not know a value, say so and we will advise.
- Which service: antenna measurement, material characterization (Dk/Df), or S-parameter and system-level testing.
- What you are measuring: material type, antenna under test, or device description.
- Target frequency range.
- Quantity: number of samples, patterns, or ports.
- Sample dimensions, if known. Each method has its own size and thickness limits.
- Your deadline, and whether you need rush service.
What happens after you submit
- We review your request and confirm which measurement method suits your sample.
- You receive a quote covering price, turnaround, and what you will be sent back.
- If your requirements fall outside our standard methods, we will reply by email to work out whether we can accommodate them.
Which service do you need?
If you are not sure, submit the form and describe the work. We will recommend an approach. Each service page lists frequency ranges, sample or AUT requirements, accuracy, and full pricing.
Antenna measurement
400 MHz – 40 GHz · from $500 per pattern
2D and 3D radiation patterns in an ETS-Lindgren anechoic chamber: gain, VSWR, axial ratio, sidelobe levels, and radiation efficiency. Methods based on IEEE 149-2021 recommended practice. See antenna measurement services.
Material characterization (Dk and Df)
10 kHz – 67 GHz · from $300 per sample
Complex permittivity, dielectric constant (Dk), and loss tangent (Df) of solid and liquid materials, supporting ASTM D5568-22a, IPC 2.5.5.15, and IEC 61189-2-721. See material characterization services, or go straight to a method: WR-90 waveguide (8.2–12.4 GHz, machinable solids), SPDR (10 GHz, thin sheets and films), FPOR (10.2–52.2 GHz, large flat samples), DAK-TL2 coaxial probe (4 MHz – 67 GHz, liquids and lossy solids), or parallel plate (10 kHz – 10 MHz, solid dielectrics).
S-parameters and system-level testing
300 kHz – 67 GHz, to 170 GHz with extenders · from $150 per device per port
Up to 4-port S-parameter measurements and noise figure characterization, for amplifiers, filters, mixers, cables, and complete RF systems. See S-parameters and system-level testing.
