FCC Part 90 Private Land Mobile Radio RF Testing
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 90 governs the licensing of private land mobile radio services in the United States. This part specifically addresses two-way communication systems used by public safety organizations, industrial users, and other entities that require reliable and secure wireless communications within a specified geographic area. Private land mobile radios are critical for maintaining continuity of operations during emergencies and daily business activities.
RF testing under FCC Part 90 ensures compliance with the stringent standards set forth by the FCC to safeguard public safety, privacy, and interference-free communication channels. Our comprehensive RF testing services encompass a range of parameters that ensure these devices meet all required specifications. These include frequency stability, power output, modulation quality, spurious emissions, harmonic distortion, adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), and more.
Frequency stability is crucial for maintaining reliable communications over long periods. Power output ensures the radio can effectively communicate over the intended range without causing interference to other devices. Modulation quality affects the clarity of voice and data transmission. Spurious emissions and harmonic distortion must be minimized to prevent interference with other services operating on nearby frequencies. The adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) is particularly important for ensuring that signals do not spill into adjacent channels, which could disrupt neighboring communication systems.
Our testing facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation such as spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and vector signal generators to measure these parameters accurately. We follow international standards including FCC Part 90, ISO/IEC 17025:2017, and IEC 62204-3:2018 to ensure our tests are both precise and compliant with industry best practices.
For quality assurance purposes, we provide detailed test reports that include all measured parameters along with their acceptance criteria. These reports serve as invaluable tools for manufacturers and operators of private land mobile radio systems, helping them identify areas for improvement and maintain high standards of performance.
In addition to compliance testing, our services also extend to the development phase where we assist in identifying potential issues early on. This proactive approach ensures that new designs meet all necessary requirements from the outset, saving time and resources later down the line. Our experienced team works closely with clients throughout every stage of their product lifecycle—from initial concept through final certification.
