For a safe and interference-free world

DARE!! Calibrations is a RvA/ILAC accredited calibration-laboratory (K063) in the fi eld of electronic measurement

instruments. Besides calibrations in the fi eld of DC current, DC voltage and low frequency (test and measuring) equipment,

DARE!! Calibrations is specialized in calibrating high frequency measuring equipment and in particular EMC equipment in

a frequency range from DC till 40 GHz. Besides equipment DARE!! Calibrations can perform on site validation calibrations,

whereby DARE!! Calibration can calibrate shielded rooms (Faraday rooms) and anechoic chambers under accreditation.

Our calibration services include, but are not limited to:

Calibration: the basis for quality

Quality can be defi ned as "the degree to which a product

or service meets the requirements of the customer". In

order to determine whether a product meets the customer

requirements, measurements are often performed. To ensure

that these measurements are reliable, they must be traceable

to the results. The only way to ensure traceable results, is to use

calibrated measurement instruments. It is therefore that many

quality systems as the ISO 9000 series and ISO 17025 require

that instruments are regularly calibrated, in other words must be

included in a calibration system.

Antennae

Antenna calibrations are performed according to calibration me-

thods of CISPR 16-1-6, ANSI C63.5 or SEA-ARP958 or Quasi Free

Space. These methods apply to antennae that are used in “free

space”, like a fully anechoic room or “reflecting ground plane”

test environment, like an OATS or Semi anechoic room. After ca-

libration we will provide the antenna characteristics that should

be used as a correction factor during daily EMC testing. As an

additional service we will deliver these antenna factors in an elec-

tronic format, to enable easy import into EMC test software, like

RadiMation®.

E-field probes

DARE!! Calibrations is accredited for E-field probes calibration

in a frequency range from 9 kHz up to 40 GHz. Our procedure

includes the frequency response in all three probe orientations

(X-Y-Z), anisotropy and linearity, where our calibration method is

in conformity with the IEC61000-4-3 (2008) Annex I “Calibration

of E-field probes”

EMI receivers

The calibration procedure of EMI receivers covers all functions

that are used for EMC emission measurements. The procedu-

re includes for example the input VSWR over the full frequency

band, RBW filters and CISPR16 detectors.

EMC Site Validation

DARE!! Calibrations is accredited for performing on-site shielding

effectiveness measurements (EN50147, Mil. Std. 285) of screened

rooms in a frequency range from 10 kHz up to 18 GHz. Beside this

we measure Normalized Site Attenuation (NSA, 30 MHz to 1 GHz)

and Site VSWR (1 GHz - 18 GHz) in accordance to CISPR16-1-4 to

validate the performance of your anechoic chamber and/or Open

Area Test Site (OATS). Finally we can perform Field Uniformity ca-

librations in accordance to IEC61000-4-3 in a frequency range

from 10 kHz up to 18 GHz.

Certificates

The calibration certificates are ISO 17025 compliant and contain

an extensive report of the measurement results and illustrations

of the measured curves, where applicable. The certificates provi-

de the technician with a direct answer, as to whether the calibra-

ted instrument is complies with the specifications that are part of

the international standard. The total measurement uncertainty

on the calibration certificate is determined according to methods

described in the EA document EA-4/02 (Dec. ‘99) “Expressions of

the Uncertainty of Measurements in Calibration” (prev. EAL-R2).
