As part of our commitment to getting customers right through the development process our experienced team here at Newbury Innovation nurse all designs through national and international standards as required.<\/strong><\/p>\nWe employ comprehensive testing through every phase of the design and manufacture process to identify any faults with the system, process or components in order to ensure the most reliable performance. No design is deemed complete until it has undergone testing and is proven to work.<\/p>\n

To that end there are in the UK accredited labs and licenced bodies that allow for approvals to be undertaken that allows your product to be shipped to all major markets.\u00a0 Some of these submissions will take existing lab data and it\u2019s a paperwork exercise and some of them will require an accredited lab to undertake the tests again from scratch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBe it testing in the UK or sending the product to a lab within the target territory we can act as the material expert on your behalf to ensure the product passes and then the product carries all the correct marking to enable legal sales in that territory.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Designing your own radio into your product, formal assessment:UKAS RED, SRD, GNSS, NFC, PMR” tab_id=”1617113125273-0c0ee34a-1650″][vc_column_text]Whilst it is often cost effective when first bringing a product to market that requires a radio connection of some kind, to use a pre-approved radio module to speed up your approvals process. Cost reduction or space saving requirements may steer you to designing your own radio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBest practice approach to the placement of the radio IC and the antenna and balun as well as the associated copper floods of the ground plane is to ensure both good initial radio RX and TX performance but to also ensure that you pass the wider susceptibility and interference testing to accredit your product.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWe have developed many products from scratch both using modules and then migrating, or taking the route to have their own radio from inception, and have the knowhow and experience to deliver these designs.<\/span><\/p>\nIt\u2019s very often the case that specific tuning components, subtle antenna tuning corrections and the position and size of ground planes for a custom radio will iterate in the development cycle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhilst we can of course model the likely outcomes it’s always the case that ultimately radio behaviours, especially where high performance is required will require the product to test, measure and then iterate, to refine to reach both approvals and performance targets.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWe can walk you through all this right at the start of the process and allow for iteration in the project plan that\u2019s produced so that you have full vision of the likely path right from the start and are understanding, managing and mitigating the development risks from day one.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”AS 9100 for Aerospace.
