Applied Technical Services conducts reverberation chamber testing in accordance with RTCA DO-160 guidelines.
What is RTCA DO-160 Section 20?
The RTCA, also known as the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, is a private, non-profit organization that developed the D0-160 test standard. Section 20 of the standard categorizes equipment, offering instructions for testing procedures that comply with the RTCA DO-160 section 20 standard.
Our Reverberation Chamber Testing Services
Our RTCA DO-160 lab conducts reverberation chamber testing to ensure that aviation equipment operates as expected in environments with radio frequency-induced electrical interference and disturbances. Our technicians use our reverberation chamber to simulate the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on airborne technology. Our reverberation chamber testing services offer several benefits, including:
- Compliance with industry standards
- Improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness over anechoic chamber testing
- Uniform distribution of the electromagnetic field
- Realistic simulation of real-world electromagnetic environments
Additional RTCA DO-160 Testing Capabilities
In addition to our RTCA DO-160 section 22 testing services, we offer services that test avionics equipment in compliance with the following DO-160 standards:
- Section 4: Temperature and Altitude Testing
- Section 5: Temperature Variation Testing
- Section 7: Operational Shocks and Crash Safety Testing
- Section 8: Vibration Testing
- Section 10: Waterproof Testing
The Importance of RTCA DO-16O Compliance
The RTCA DO-160 document is an ever-evolving resource that outlines testing procedures for environmental testing on airborne equipment. Government agencies such as the FAA and EASA recognize RTCA DO-160 and base many of their regulations on the document and its contents. Our RTCA DO-160 services ensure that our clients’ equipment adheres to the industry-wide consensus on airborne equipment reliability and safety.
