Sensor characterization is a fundamental step in the development phase and quality control. This process involves recording and evaluating key properties without damaging the sensor. At SPEKTRA LABS, we use targeted measurements to analyze the behavior and signal changes of your sensors under stimuli such as shock, vibration or temperature changes.
- Non-destructive determination of key sensor properties
- Analysis of noise transmission behavior under realistic conditions
- Identification of limits and performance capabilities
- Support in creating informative data sheets
- Optimization of pre-production samples for maximum reliability

Workflow
A thorough sensor characterization provides critical information about the performance of your sensors. It identifies the sensor’s limitations, defines the ranges within which it measures reliably and determines the point at which external influences begin to affect accuracy. From the very first step through to the presentation of results, we ensure that you receive comprehensive and reliable results — tailored specifically to your requirements.
Selecting the sensor and specifying the parameters to be measured, such as cross-sensitivity or temperature stability.
Conducting tests under controlled conditions to assess the sensor’s response to various stimuli. This non-destructive testing allows important properties of the sensor to be determined without damaging it.
Analyzing measurement data to assess accuracy and performance.
Preparation of a detailed report containing the results and recommendations for using the sensor. This report serves as the basis for creating data sheets and ensuring the optimal use of the sensor.
We can subject devices under test to highly targeted one- and three-dimensional loading using sinusoidal vibrations, shocks and recorded acceleration profiles across a very wide range of frequencies and amplitudes, thereby helping to analyze the problem in detail.
We determine the frequency-dependent sensor sensitivity, cross-sensitivity, magnetic sensitivity, damping behavior, shock resistance, etc.
Environmental simulation
We conduct climatic and mechanical tests on sensors, measuring instruments and other electronic assemblies. This includes simultaneous functional monitoring and recording of all measured values.
Calibration in our laboratory
To ensure reliable results, your measuring instruments, measurement chains and calibrators must be calibrated at regular intervals. You can rely on our many years of experience in our accredited laboratory.
