NFC / contactless test system

ci230 — the world's fastest NFC test system.

One integrated instrument for EMV®, NFC Forum, NFC-WLC and ISO 10373 — certification, pre-compliance and R&D — that decodes the protocol and measures absolute analog from a single test antenna.

Dive deeper into EMV® L1, NFC Forum CR15 and ISO 10373-6 — pair the ci230 with our calibrated reference antennas, or read how it decodes with no sniffer antenna.

All-in-one

One instrument. Nothing external.

  • Wideband power amplifier covering all standards — no external PA
  • Built-in oscilloscope — no external scope
  • Internal attenuators — none at the PA output to add or cable
  • Signal generator, signal processing and automation software — one instrument

Deep debug

Measure what others can't.

  • Shmoo / 3D RF-field plots to visualise dead spots
  • Live waveform and load-modulation (LMA) display
  • Absolute receive sensitivity with margin to limits
  • Stop-on-fail capture — record exactly when a case fails
