The following techniques are used as required for development projects.
- Design
-
Systems and circuit design from specifications or out-line
functional requirements. Component level design or sub-assembly
integration.
-
- Analysis
-
First principle component level analysis and simulation of analogue
and digital circuits, including transfer functions, tolerances, worst
case limits and timing diagrams.
-
- Specifications
-
Requirement capture from stake holders and user needs written into
clear specifications.
-
- Feasibility Studies
-
Both paper exercises and hardware tests can be used
to assess the feasibility of an idea or concept.
-
- Failure Mode Effects Analysis
-
In some application, such as medical products failures can be
critical and in most products failures are undesirable as they damage
brand and company images. FMEA is a technique for assessing the
types of failures that can occur and the resulting consequences.
-
- Reliability Analysis
-
Reliability reports can be provided based on MIL-HBK-217 methods.
-
- De-rating Analysis
-
Reliability of a product usually depends on the degree of stress
placed on components. De-rating analysis is a method of ensuring that
components are used within correct limits. These are usually
based on JPL Component De-rating Guidelines.
-
- Functional Testing
-
Functional testing can be performed on products developed by AEDL
and often on devices developed by clients where an independent test is
required.
-
- Reports
-
Formal reports can be provided for any part of the design or
development process.
-
- Preparation for Regulatory Approvals
-
For a product to be marketed in the European union it is often
necessary to obtain certification of the appropriate regulatory
compliance. AEDL can prepare equipment and arrange for this testing
and certification to be carried out by an approved testing body.
