Market insights from EuCAP 2026

According to our team’s investigation at EuCAP 2026, leaking absorbers and expensive test chambers remain concerns in the antenna testing market. ‘The solutions we provide for these topics need more awareness’, says Marc Le Roy.

Marc, one of our technical specialists, was surprised that many professionals still do not know that a basic shielding test chamber (also called a DIY chamber) often meets the requirements for antenna measurement. Marc: ‘Of course, we also offer a more traditional, premium shielding chamber for the antenna market with a full Faraday cage.’

You can see the difference between these two chambers for yourself on our Antenna Testing page via this link.

Meanwhile, our Director of Sales & Marketing, Bas de Groot, engaged visitors at our stand by asking them about the condition of their hands and shoes after a full day working in a test chamber. ‘Unsurprisingly, most testing professionals still suffer from old or traditional absorbers that leak black particles onto the floor, hands, and clothes. For this issue, we also have a solution using the closed-cell absorbers we developed for the antenna-testing market.’

More details about these closed-cell absorbers can be found on our chamber upgrades webpage.

EUCAP 2026 takes place from 19 to 24 April in Dublin, Ireland. You can meet our colleagues Marc, Uliana, Dmitriy, and Bas at the Comtest stand 16-18.

Comtest Engineering at EUCAP 2026

With many market developments such as 6G and satellite communications, we cannot wait to attend the 20th edition of Eucap, organised by the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP).

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.
