As a high quality radio communications manufacturer, Codan Communications uses a wide variety of electronic and
mechanical test equipment in the production, design, service and support of our radio communications systems.
Codan test equipment is calibrated annually or semi-annually to ensure it is operating at a proper performance
level and is capable of the high reliability and high performance required by the customer. Codan Communications
fi les calibration and maintenance records of all test equipment used in our factory and continuously updates these
records to reliably control and record calibration of all equipment.
Codan Communications calibrates all:
Communications Analyzers and Test Sets Multimeters
Frequency Counters Signal Generators
Spectrum Analyzers SINAD meters
Power Supplies Wattmeters
Torque Wrenches Soldering Stations
Digital and Vernier Calipers Environmental Chambers
Oscilloscopes ESD Equipment
Temperature Probes and Sensors Internal Test Jigs
and all other equipment used in the design and manufacture of Codan radio equipment.
The accuracy of Codan equipment has been determined by comparison to Standards which are directly traceable to
the Canadian Institute for National Measurement Standards (NRC-INMS) or the US National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST).
Codan uses two Spectracom model 8194 oven stabilized frequency references to provide a highly accurate frequency
reference for the purpose of phase locking the internal oscillators of radio production test equipment factory wide.
The outputs of the Spectracom frequency references are locked to the United States Naval Observatory via the
NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS).
