Most RF/MW engineers, who often work in anechoic chambers, have noticed a layer of fine black dust inside their chambers and on their clothes and hands. Some engineers even keep an additional set of work clothes for use within the anechoic chamber due to this issue.
Last week, our consultants, Hanneke van Veen and Dimitrios Barakos, visited seven companies in Japan with our friends from Microwave Factory to help companies implement the closed-loop power control (fast stirring) reverb method as per the ISO11451-5 test standards.

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.

We were surprised by the results of our poll to determine if the market prefers end caps on their absorbers. The results were quite clear! Two responses received 88% of the votes, leaving little room for the other two options.
End caps can be viewed as a luxury rather than an immediate necessity for a well-performing chamber. Yet, 80% of our clients choose optional end caps for their test chambers. Why is that? Through this poll, we aim to understand which function of end caps is considered most valuable.
The question was: ‘What would be your main reason for adding end caps to your test chamber?’
The results:
As shown in the image, end caps not only protect the tips of the absorbers but also create a bright and fresh working environment compared to chambers without end caps. This is, of course, subjective and not driven by technical arguments.
If you wish to explore the possibilities of adding end caps to your chamber or replacing the old ones, please get in touch with one of our technical consultants: Marc Le Roy, Hanneke Mertens – van Veen, Uliana Trucchi, or Vincent van de Vrie.
