RF Test

Antenna Verification Testing & RF Commissioning

The final step of any ground station project is RF commissioning — where performance must meet investment. Parity specializes in independent, physics-based verification of antenna systems through G/T and other critical metrics.

We don’t rely on spec sheets or assumptions. We measure, analyze, and report using proven methods and calibrated equipment.

“The numbers don’t lie” is more than a motto — it’s our method.

Whether representing the end-customer or manufacturer, Parity ensures repeatable, unbiased results that prove performance… or identify the reason it falls short.

RF Tests at the System Level

Comprehensive RF Testing Services

Parity delivers project-specific RF test plans that include everything from front-end EQ and HPA alignment to in-depth system performance characterization.

We perform (and document) advanced RF metrics such as:

• Gain, Slope, and Ripple

• TOI, PIM, and Spectral Noise Density

• System Dynamic Range & Output Noise

• Noise Figure & Gain Stability

• Frequency Response & Group Delay

• System VSWR & Interpath Isolation

• Passive/Active IM Products, and more

Whether it’s a factory environment or live earth station, we apply the right instruments, calibrated methods, and engineering judgment to verify that your RF chain performs to spec — with no guesswork.

RF Geometry Optimization & Pattern Verification

Parity specializes in precision RF geometry validation using field-proven methodologies and equipment. Our standard services include:

• Sub-reflector Optimization & Pattern Symmetry Checks

• Antenna Pattern Measurements (Co-pol, Cross-pol, Off-axis)

• Gain by Beamwidth & Pattern Integration Analysis

• Transmit-to-Receive Isolation Testing

• Port-to-Port Isolation

• PIM Detection & Intermod Evaluation

• BRE Analysis for Pointing Accuracy

Following testing, customers receive a comprehensive, archive-ready report documenting all measurement results. This serves as official proof of antenna performance for internal records, customer acceptance, or satellite operator certification.
