The LUF1000 on Tour in Phoenix, Arizona

Why does Bas de Groot, our Director of Sales & Marketing, look so happy in this photo in Phoenix, Arizona, last week? Well, it’s the first day of the LUF1000 reverberation chamber on tour through the US.

Bas: “We have decided to take this very compact reverberation chamber to trade shows in the US to demonstrate our commitment to quality and worry-free testing. The LUF1000 has the lowest usable frequency (LUF) of 1GHz and is designed to meet all EN61000-4-21/RTCA-DO160G criteria. Visitors to the show were impressed by our promise to bring an actual working reverberation chamber to the exhibition. They liked the craftsmanship, the design, and the fact that we answered their main questions inside the chamber’s door: what is it, what can I do with it, how much does it cost, and what is the delivery time?”

But there is more. Bas adds: “Next to the US tour, we joined forces with our friends from In Compliance Magazine by starting an advertisement campaign for the LUF1000. Of course, their Business Development Director, Sharon Smith, was also in Phoenix, and it was great catching up face to face after several video calls.”

Sharon: “We’re excited to have forged an advertising partnership, bringing their captivating advertisement into our magazine. Be sure to keep an eye out for our August issue, where we’ll be celebrating industry pioneers, including a feature on the Comtest family.”

As mentioned in our ad campaign in In Compliance Magazine, we try to make testing as worry-free as possible for our clients. Hence, the plug-and-play setup includes antennas and RF cables. All you need to do is find a socket to power it up, and you’re ready for worry-free testing.

EMC+SIPI 2024 is organised by the IEEE EMC Society and leads the industry in providing state-of-the-art education on EMC and Signal Integrity and Power Integrity techniques.

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.
