What is RF Protocol and RF Parametric Testing? 

Protocols and parameters are used in radio and wireless broadcasting to ensure that those using the radio spectrum follow certain quality standards, as defined by the various network operators. Testing against established standards and rules allows a large number of devices to utilize the radio spectrum simultaneously and promotes a standardized high quality of service for all radio devices.

RF protocol testing focuses on checking devices meet the rules (protocols) for seamless data exchange between radio devices. These can vary depending on network operator, application (e.g. Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), data range and rate, plus many other factors. RF parametric testing evaluates specific performance parameters of radio frequency components, such as power, frequency range, modulation, and sensitivity. It ensures that individual components or systems meet technical requirements and perform within acceptable limits.
