We make it possible

Faster, cost-effective, controlled and optimized testing

This innovative tool provides precise insights by measuring RF signals in a 3D matrix and displaying the data in a dynamic 3D graph.

It has versatile applications: it serves both as a visualizer for RF electromagnetic fields generated by MRI coils and as a crucial instrument for EMC emission testing. By integrating this technology into our development process, we enable faster, more cost-effective, better controlled, and optimized coil designs from the earliest stages. In addition to its extensive testing capabilities during the design and development phases, the tool can also be used to test MR coils during production and repair stages.
