Product Analysis and Reverse Engineering

We can perform independant product analysis to discover  weaknesses and strengths, determine intellectual property attributes, prepare for patent application, and determine re-design needs. Reverse engineering permits the discovery and understanding of operational principles of a product or apparatus. Reverse engineering may be required for a client's own product that lacks sufficient or adequate documentation needed for on-going product support. The lack of sufficient documentation may be due to the loss of an employee, documentation that was lost or never written, or acquiring a poorly documented product or technology from another company.

Some clients may need a third party analysis of their product that can include security auditing, product robustness, or to discover ways to reduce a product's unit material cost. Reverse engineering may also be sought for a competitor's product to estimate their unit-material costs, determine operational characteristics, create functional specification, or to identify potential patent infringement.

Product Testing and Agency Approvals

We own an array of test equipment including oscilloscopes, MSO, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNA,  RF power meters, RF VWSR, telecom line simulator, DDS waveform generator, frequency counters, lab grade power supplies, JTAG, JTAG ICE, emulators, device programmer, specific ISP programmers, LCR meters, numerous DMMs, solder/desoldering stations, hot-air re-work station, and many specialized tools.

Oakley can provide agency approval assistance. Although we do not provide any formal in-house agency compliance testing, we can provide analysis of the product prior to testing to determine the liklihood of compliance and we can accompany the equipment during actual testing to expediate the process. We have been involved in numerous agency approvals including: FCC, UL, CE, TUV and ETSI.
