Big doors, a big challenge for packaging and transportation
How does a 4.2×4-meter door fit in the box in the photo? “It’s not only a challenge for packaging but also transportation,” explains Arjan Nederstigt. His colleagues Ron Ligtvoet, Ferruh Saribas, and Miguel Gobardhan join him in ensuring that all purchases are sent safely and soundly to our clients. One of the things that sets us apart from other manufacturers is that our doors are shipped in one piece after being thoroughly tested in our workshop so our team can install the doors fast and worry-free anywhere in the world. The challenge that comes with shipping completely assembled doors is their size.”
An eye for perfection
According to our welding specialist Sebastiaan Koopmans, finishing an RF-shielded door requires special skills: “A regular household door fits into a wooden or metal frame. The ‘knives’ on our doors need to fit exactly into the copper ‘fingers’ of the door frame after welding the parts together. Therefore, they must be sharp but not too sharp to wear the copper fingers. Just like a good kitchen knife. I test the welding edges of the door knives manually but safely: when they feel smooth enough, they get my green light.”
Pre-compliant or full-compliant?
What stands higher on the agenda: the condition of equipment or people? The answer might surprise you! At the European Microwave Week in Paris this week, three of our technical consultants invited professionals to discuss this subject at our stand.

NLR-Arch setup measurements
Are radar cross-section measurements for absorbers still representative? No. Following the guidelines of IEEE1128, the NLR-Arch setup measurements are more representative. With the emergence of 6G, aerospace antennas, and automotive radar systems, antenna measurements above 40GHz are becoming more common, but they are still done worldwide in the old RCS way.
