Infographics: DMAS absorbers explained

Our partner, Dutch Microwave Absorber Solutions, asked designer Loek Weijts to create this infographic to explain the benefits of a new range of DMAS closed-cell absorbers for antenna testing.

Why an infographic?
Rik de Groot, managing director of Dutch Microwave Absorber Solutions: “For years, I explained the benefits of our products by summarising them in conversations I had with clients and listing them in our PowerPoint presentations. However, I noticed that so much information does not always have the desired effect. You must realise we talk to clients in various countries and languages. The idea to create an infographic solved it. I take laminated prints to trade shows, which is remarkably effective.

After showing the infographic at a symposium in Italy last month, someone asked me if we could deliver larger absorbers for testing at low frequencies, starting from 86MHz and up. “Coincidentally, we had a similar request to investigate the feasibility of a larger javelin tip absorber for a project. I know we can manufacture these. If the business case is right, we can invest in the tooling for these exceptionally large absorbers.”

If you want to know more about the free-from-dust DMAS absorbers for antenna testing, scan the QR code on the infographic for digital product brochures with technical specifications or message Rik de Groot.

Upgrading an EMC chamber with new absorbers on old tiles

Can you upgrade an EMC chamber and keep the old, glued ferrite tiles? “It’s possible”, says Uliana Trucchi, one of our technical consultants. “Say you want to replace your old absorbers because you need to meet performances over 1GHz, and you wish to keep the ferrite tiles because they are glued to the chamber’s walls and ceiling. That is exactly what the people from Nemko in Germany asked us for the chamber upgrade in the photo.”

The number of stirrer positions vs power

Testing time is valuable, so this post provides tips on optimising the number of stirrer positions in your reverberation chamber to fit your budget and test requirements. “There is a delicate balance between the number of stirrer positions and the amplifier power for a given reverberation chamber,” explains our R&D Consultant, Dimitrios Barakos. By collaborating with EMC test solution provider Rohde & Schwarz, we aim to find the most efficient solution for our clients. “

Our services include maintenance and validated testing. We recommend that both are executed by authorized personnel only. Our expert teams can perform preventive maintenance on RF-shielded doors, mode-stirrer systems, and positioning equipment such as turntables. We also offer validation services to see if your EMC test chamber or RF-shielded room still functions within its intended limits and avoiding unexpected down-time or product recalls at the same time.

A shielded room can perform conducted emission and immunity EMC measurements, eliminating harmful external influences, leading to more accurate and consistent test results. Being a Faraday cage, a shielded room will not only improve test results but will also form an excellent aid in protecting information and essential hardware. Comtest can assist governments, the military, financial institutions, and large corporations in protecting what matters most in critical situations. We offer the highest quality, sensitivity, and security before, during and after working with you.
