Factory Calibration & Repair Services for RF Test Equipment
Keep your RF test equipment accurate, compliant, and field-ready with factory-authorized calibration and repair from the engineers who designed your Bird equipment. Maintain measurement confidence, audit-ready documentation, and reliable performance throughout your equipment's lifecycle.
THE RISK OF DRIFT
Drift Doesn't Announce Itself
If you already have a calibration program, this isn’t a warning — it’s validation. Drift happens to every instrument, in every environment, regardless of how carefully it’s maintained.
The question isn’t whether drift occurs. It’s whether you have the data to prove your measurements were valid when it mattered most.
For regulated and performance-critical industries — telecom, semiconductor, broadcasting, aerospace, and defense — current calibration data helps reduce the risk of incorrect RF power readings, false pass/fail decisions, off-spec system performance, failed acceptance testing, and avoidable downtime.
For semiconductor environments: unreliable RF power measurements can also contribute to process variation or process excursions, especially where RF power delivery is part of a controlled manufacturing step.
"A calibration sticker tells an auditor your instrument was serviced. A certificate with before-and-after measurement data tells them it was accurate — and that you can prove it."
Which Calibration Service Is Right for You?
Choose the calibration service that matches your documentation, quality, and compliance requirements.
Standard Calibration
Best for:
Routine maintenance programs where traceable calibration is required, but detailed measurement records are not.
You'll receive:
- NIST-traceable calibration
- Calibration certificate
- Instrument verification to published specifications
Consider upgrading if:
You need audit support, customer documentation, or proof of measurement accuracy before and after service.
Calibration with Data
Best for:
Quality programs, customer deliverables, and applications where measurement accuracy must be documented.
You'll receive:
- Everything in Standard Calibration
- Before-and-after measurement data
- Performance records for audits and quality reviews
Choose this when:
You need proof that the instrument was accurate—not just serviced.
A2LA Accredited Calibration
Best for:
ISO 17025 quality systems, defense contractors, government agencies, semiconductor manufacturing, and regulated environments.
You'll receive:
- Everything in Calibration with Data
- ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration certificate
- Documentation accepted for compliance-driven applications
Choose this when:
Your customer, contract, auditor, or quality system specifically requires accredited calibration.
