RTCA DO-160 Section 18 Failure Analysis and Debug Testing is a general EMC testing and laboratory-sourcing service for RTCA DO-160 Section 18 — Audio frequency conducted susceptibility power inputs.
DeltaFaraday coordinates the project and sources the testing through an appropriate independent laboratory based on test scope, accreditation needs, geography, equipment capability, schedule and reporting requirements. The performing laboratory is identified during quotation; this listing does not represent that DeltaFaraday itself is the accredited test laboratory.
Service format: targeted retesting, troubleshooting and engineering support to isolate failure frequencies, coupling paths, susceptible circuits and practical corrective actions.
Typical scope: calibration, coupling or injection method, frequency sweep, dwell, modulation, test level, operating mode monitoring and performance assessment.
Applications: airborne equipment, avionics, flight controls, communications, navigation, power systems and unmanned aircraft.
Common deliverables: laboratory quote coordination, test-plan review, sample and configuration review, scheduling, test execution by the selected laboratory, data and failure review, retest coordination, formal or engineering report, and project closeout.
Applicable edition, amendment, product configuration, port selection, test levels, performance criteria, sample count, accreditation scope and certification pathway are confirmed before the testing order is placed.
