RF Engineering Services & RF Testing UK
Practical RF engineering support for companies that need a difficult radio-frequency, microwave or wireless problem measured, diagnosed and resolved. We provide RF testing, fault investigation, spectrum analysis, prototype evaluation and independent technical consultancy throughout the UK.
RF engineering services
Engineering support built around measurement, not guesswork.
We work on problems where conventional electrical, IT or product troubleshooting has not identified the cause, or where specialist RF test equipment and RF engineering experience are required.
RF Fault Finding & Diagnostics
Systematic investigation of intermittent, low-sensitivity, unstable, noisy or otherwise unexplained RF faults.
Spectrum Analysis
Measurement of occupied spectrum, interference, spurious signals, noise, harmonics and unexpected RF activity.
Prototype & Product Evaluation
Independent bench testing and engineering investigation during RF product development and troubleshooting.
Microwave & RF Engineering
Practical engineering support for RF and microwave signal chains, amplifiers, filters, antennas, receivers and transmitters.
RF Interference Investigation
On-site and laboratory investigation of interference affecting wireless, telemetry, GNSS, cellular and other RF systems.
RF testing services
Testing for development, troubleshooting and evidence.
The exact test programme is defined around the equipment and the problem rather than forcing every project into a fixed test package.
- RF power and signal-level measurements
- Spectrum and bandwidth measurements
- Frequency and signal stability investigation
- Receiver sensitivity and signal-path diagnostics
- Amplifier, filter and RF chain evaluation
- Spurious emission and harmonic investigation
- Antenna, feeder and connection troubleshooting
- Interference and RF-noise measurements
- Comparative and before/after engineering tests
- Data capture and technical reporting where required
Who we help
A specialist RF resource when you do not need a permanent RF department.
The service is intended for engineering companies, manufacturers, technology businesses, system integrators and organisations that occasionally encounter an RF problem requiring specialist equipment and experience.
Typical starting point: “The product/system works, but the RF performance is not what we expect and we need somebody to find out why.”
How an RF investigation works
From symptom to measured evidence.
01 · DEFINE
Understand the problem
Establish the symptoms, equipment, frequencies and operating conditions.
02 · MEASURE
Test the RF system
Use appropriate RF test equipment to establish what the system is actually doing.
03 · DIAGNOSE
Identify likely cause
Correlate measurements with the failure and isolate the affected part of the system.
04 · REPORT
Provide findings
Explain the measurements, likely cause and practical next engineering actions.
On-site or laboratory
RF engineering across the UK.
Some problems can be investigated on the bench; others only exist in the installed environment. We can undertake laboratory-style diagnostic work as well as on-site RF investigation where the equipment or interference cannot practically be brought to us.

Frequently asked questions
RF engineering & testing FAQs
Do you provide RF testing services for prototypes?
Yes. Testing can be tailored to the development problem, including RF signal levels, spectrum, frequency behaviour, signal paths, interference and comparative measurements.
Can you investigate an RF product that is not performing correctly?
Yes. Fault finding can be carried out at circuit, RF-chain or complete-system level depending on the equipment and the information available.
Do you undertake on-site RF engineering work?
Yes. On-site investigation is appropriate where the RF problem depends on the installed environment, local interference, antennas, cabling or other equipment at the location.
Do you provide microwave engineering support?
Yes, subject to the frequency range, equipment and nature of the project. Contact us with the operating frequencies and the problem you need investigated.
Can you provide a technical report?
Yes. Where required, measurements, observations and engineering findings can be documented in a technical report.
RF engineering enquiry
Have an RF problem that needs solving?
Tell us what the equipment is doing, what you expected it to do, the operating frequency range and any tests already completed. We can then advise on the most appropriate investigation.
