Dust-free absorbers on the AMTA 2024 in Cincinnati

No more dirty chambers! Our mission to create cleaner work environments brought us to Cincinnati’s AMTA 2024 Exhibition. In the photo in the middle, Vincent van de Vrie, the latest addition to our international technical consultancy team, is shown. He said he learned a lot from the many visitors to the three-day event.

Vincent: “Even more than at last month’s trade show in Paris, visitors respond to the No More Dirty Chambers proposition. I heard stories about professionals getting their hands dirty from leaking absorbers, swiping the chamber with a broom before testing, and people wearing face masks. One man told me he vacuum-cleaned their absorbers from time to time! It’s crazy and unnecessary with the DMAS (Dutch Microwave Absorber Solutions) Broadband RF Absorbers we bring to the show. Since it’s a new concept, we get a lot of curious visitors asking questions: how the glue-free installation process works, if they are not more expensive than absorbers from the States because of shipping (the answer is no), and if they are not more vulnerable than traditional absorbers because they feel more solid (they are not).”

And then there is the Bingo card. Vincent: “Yes, the organisation hands out bingo cards to visitors. They can fill them in by visiting as many booths as possible. Each exhibitor can give them a stamp, and a full card gives them the chance to win a prize today. It’s a great idea and a huge success. It brings people to the stand who might not visit us otherwise, and I manage to engage most of them in a good conversation. And we also have our branded hand sanitisers that we give away to overcome the time until we install the new absorbers!”

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.”

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.
