Category: Testing
Description: RF Test is a process to ensure that the PCB neither emits nor is susceptible to radio frequency waves that exceed specific limits. For RF immunity testing, the equipment is exposed to RF disturbances and fields with field strengths and frequency ranges representative of their in-operation environment. For RF emissions testing, the equipment, under normal operation, is monitored for RF disturbances and fields.
Major Cost Drivers -- PCBA RF Test
RF Test Cycle Time is determined by creating a factored unit hour from the planned test time and the first pass yield value. The planned time will not always be achieved therefore it is important to account for the instances during which the test must be performed again.
Process Time = RF Test Time*(RF Test Yield/100)
- RF Test Time = (PSO)
- RF Test Yield = (PSO)
