PRESENTATION
Thanks to its own laboratory, S.M.E. can provide its customers with fast experimental validation of their products. Major applications include:
- Determination of missing key characteristics of the materials used in customers' devices
- Validation of designs and/or simulation results
- Rapid prototyping and quick-turn evaluation of the performance of prototypes
- Comparative measurements (benchmarking) with competitors' products
You will find below additional information about our testing capabilities. As our laboratory is continuously being improved, be sure to get our latest lab description or our testing roadmap by contacting your local agent.

ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT
- Sensor performance measurement :
- broad portfolio of sensors for the measurement of product performance
- wide range of temperature environments, for the evaluation of temperature dependancy
- automated equipment for 3D spatial characterization of sensor response (as a function of distance for proximity sensors, relative orientation for magnetic sensors..)
- software and hardware environment for the development of fatigue and ageing test benches
- ...
- RF measurement
- antenna characterization (inc. radiation pattern through automated 3D spatial characterization in cartesian or spherical coordinate systems)
- typical measurement range from 10 Hz to 4 GHz
- ..
- Software development possibilities for customized automated data acquisition & measurement (GPIB..)

THERMAL TESTING
The thermal performance of our customers' devices, as well as the stress induced by the change of temperature, can be assessed through several measuring techniques, under various environmental conditions.
- Temperature measurement & mapping:
- IR thermography imaging,
- temperature sensors / thermocouples,
- ..
- Environmental conditions: heating and cooling by :
- conduction,
- natural / forced convection,
- radiation (heating only)..
