- Subramanian H., Technician Head at Telekinesis Systems & Solutions

“I have been collaborating with MiCOM Labs since 2008 and have had the privilege of witnessing their remarkable growth in the field of regulatory compliance testing and certification. Their achievements are truly impressive, especially considering they are an independent, family-owned business that takes a family-like approach to its clients.

In their early days, MiCOM provided limited compliance testing from a small office. Today, they operate a fully customized facility offering comprehensive global compliance testing and certification solutions. What stands out most is their innovative approach to addressing real-world challenges faced by manufacturers. MiCOM not only facilitates the efficient placement of products in global markets but also ensures manufacturers can maintain ongoing product certifications—an offering I’ve yet to see replicated by other testing organizations.

As an international client, we fully utilize the MiTest application. Its ability to provide both historical data and live measurement results in real time has proven to be a tremendous time-saver. We also leverage the system to generate draft measurement PDFs for our dispersed design teams, which is an incredibly convenient feature.

Furthermore, the MiCOM test report format surpasses anything else we’ve encountered. Its thoughtful design, which separates test data from graphical images, makes report reviews far more efficient—a feature that is highly valued by our stakeholders.

We highly recommend MiCOM Labs. With their expertise and client-focused approach, you can trust that you’ll be well taken care of.”

Best Practices for Selecting and Working with an RF Emissions Testing Lab

RF Testing Lab Recommendations
Engage Early in the Design Process for Integrated Compliance
Collaborate with the RF testing lab during the conceptual and prototyping stages to preempt 5G-specific challenges. This includes:
  • Evaluating antenna placement to minimize signal attenuation and optimize spatial beamforming.
  • Simulating mmWave propagation in various deployment scenarios (e.g., urban, suburban, or indoor) to identify potential compliance bottlenecks early.
  • Identifying risks associated with dynamic power adjustments and active thermal management, which are critical for maintaining performance while adhering to emissions limits.
Prioritize Labs with Advanced High-Frequency Expertise and Facilities
Select a lab equipped to handle mmWave testing (24 GHz to 100 GHz) with precise calibration tools and cutting-edge anechoic chambers designed for ultra-high frequencies. Ensure the lab can:
  • Measure spurious emissions and harmonics in these higher bands with sub-dB accuracy.
  • Perform tests for waveform distortion and validate compliance with stricter tolerances specific to the FR2 band (e.g., 5G NR).


Validate Coexistence with Legacy and Emerging RF Systems
The coexistence of 5G with other wireless technologies (e.g., LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and GPS) is essential for maintaining device performance.
  • Ensure the lab conducts tests for unlicensed bands like 2.4 GHz and U-NII (5 GHz).
  • Verify that spurious emissions remain within acceptable limits to prevent interference with critical systems like aviation radar or emergency communication channels.




Prepare for Dynamic and Evolving Regulatory Requirements
Regulatory standards for 5G, especially for FR2 bands, continue to evolve as global authorities refine their frameworks. Select a lab with:
  • Expertise in regional variances (e.g., FCC’s Part 30 for mmWave, ETSI’s EN 301 908 for Europe) and proactive monitoring of upcoming changes.
  • The ability to adapt testing protocols for updates in bandwidth allocation, spurious emission limits, and thermal regulations.
  • Close ties to standardization bodies (e.g., 3GPP, IEEE) to ensure your device remains compliant with future iterations of 5G standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about 5G RF Testing

Why is 5G RF testing more complex than testing for previous wireless technologies?

5G operates across multiple frequency bands, including sub-6 GHz and mmWave (24 GHz to 53 GHz), which require specialized equipment and expertise. Features like beamforming, dynamic power output, and MIMO introduce additional complexities, necessitating advanced testing methodologies to ensure compliance and performance.

Yes, we provide testing for all 5G frequency ranges, including low, mid, and high bands (FR1 and FR2). Our facilities are equipped to handle high-frequency testing up to 220 GHz, ensuring your device meets global compliance standards for both licensed and unlicensed spectrum.

5G employs beamforming to focus signals in specific directions, improving efficiency and coverage. We test beamforming accuracy using advanced tools that measure antenna patterns, signal strength, and compliance across multiple orientations and angles, ensuring your device performs as intended.

High-frequency 5G devices, especially those operating at mmWave, generate significant heat due to increased power and signal processing demands. Heat can affect RF performance, so we conduct emissions tests under varying thermal conditions to confirm compliance and reliability in real-world environments.

Yes, we specialize in testing for unique 5G use cases, including private networks, industrial IoT, and V2X communications. These scenarios often involve specific challenges like low-latency operation, coexistence with legacy systems, and adherence to custom performance requirements for specialized environments.
