Single-floor absorber
set-ups

A single-floor absorber set-up for radiated emissions AND radiated immunity instead of two different set-ups? Yes, that is exactly what we did for our client, Aesys, in Italy. They raised the need to optimise the space and the test setup time, so we started brainstorming about a solution that could still meet the requirements.

Laboratory Manager Marco Verzeroli from Aesys explains the solution: “Ferrites weigh up to 20 kilos each, are expensive, and take up a lot of space. Together with the team from Comtest Engineering, we set up an innovative and smart solution to use the same pyramidal floor absorbers for both sVSWR and Field Uniformity without using ferrite tiles. The result is a completely renewed and reinforced semi-anechoic chamber for fully compliant EMC and radio testing up to 40 GHz. In fact, this chamber’s NSA and VSWR performances are considerably below the limits set by the CISPR, so we are well-prepared for the future.”

The production planning puzzle explained

Our chamber projects start with engineering and end with installation and testing. If one of the two changes in planning, André Oostdam, responsible for production, feels the pain. How does he guarantee deadline promises to clients?

How can telecom companies cope with PIM?

PIM has been highlighted as a growing problem for cellular network providers and associated equipment suppliers. This type of interference can reduce receiver sensitivity and, in some cases, may even completely inhibit communication.

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.
