CETECOM’s EMC Laboratory performs coexistence measurements on LTE and DVB-T devices

The team of CETECOM’s Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory in Essen/Germany performs coexistence measurements on LTE and DVB-T devices. CETECOM supports the industry and helps to ensure that devices operating in adjacent frequency bands such as LTE band 20 and DVB-T do not disturb each other while in use. Any interferences between the different transmission technologies must be avoided to make sure the use of the devices is safe and secured.

Requirements for the new German ID card and its readers

An increasing number of people already use the new German ID card. This card contains an RFID chip which awakes interest also in using the non-mandatory functions. By means of intensive tests following the BSI TR-03105 specification potential weak points in card readers and electronic identity cards can already be uncovered during the development stage. Functional tests (according to BSI TR-03119) are also offered by CETECOM, these ensure the interoperability between reader device and the AusweisApp software.

Moreover, as an accredited testing laboratory, CETECOM can conduct the regulatory conformance tests to ensure your application meeting the required EMC and RF standards. The electrical safety tests following EN 60950-1 and necessary vibration tests can also be conducted. Finally, CETECOM is also pleased to support reader manufacturers during the certification process (according to the BSI standards TR-03105 and TR-03119).

CETECOM´s highly motivated experts are ready to assist developers in ensuring and maintaining the conformity and interoperability of nPA applications.
