Energy Storage
Fuel cells are a highly efficient, zero emission, noiseless power source, which in the future could replace batteries and even the internal combustion engine.
Battery testers and supercapacitor testing manufacturers rely heavily on energy storage device test equipment, yet until now, have been limited either to high performance single channel units such as our own 1260A/1287A, or relatively low performance multi-channel systems. |

Corrosion
Electrochemical techniques in corrosion analysis provide data complementary to coupon and salt spray tests which are less than effective for short-term diagnosis. Corrosion rates and charge transfer properties of an electrochemical system can rapidly be predicted from impedance data and potentiodynamic techniques. |

Materials
Electrical tests on materials investigate their ability to store charge (capacitance) and transfer charge (conductance). Analyzing these parameters can provide valuable information in terms of a material's physical and chemical properties including: impedance, porosity, tan delta, molecular relaxation, grain boundaries, phase changes, permittivity and modulus, along with many other parameters. |

Control
Transfer function analysis forms the basis of all research performed using Solartron frequency response analyzers (FRAs). It is a technique whereby a sinusoidal signal is used to measure points on a system with respect to other points or an input signal. The magnitude and phase of the output signal are related to the transfer function at the frequency of the input signal. |

Electronics Test
Numerous customers use Solartron frequency response analyzers (FRAs) in electronic testing. These tests generally require measurement of transfer function and group delay. FRAs provide a wide dynamic range, coupled with high frequency resolution to enable a system's attenuation characteristics to be defined. |
