Shielding Effectiveness Testing
Chomerics' Test Chamber A is constructed with shielded enclosures manufactured and installed by Universal Shielding Corporation of Deer Park, New York. Attenuation tests have demonstrated that the shielded enclosures meet the attenuation requirements of IEEE-STD-299. This chamber conforms to the requirements of DO-160G. The chamber is lined with ETS-Lindgren RF absorber material. The absorber material meets the following absorption specifications: 80MHz 6dB, 300MHz 30dB, 500MHz 35dB, 1 GHz 40dB, and 3 to 24 GHz 50dB.
Chomerics’ Test Chamber B is similarly constructed and is lined with Rantec ferrite absorber tiles FT-100. All surfaces of the room are lined with FT-100 material. The floor is lined with removable tiles. The absorber material allows the test chamber to meet the 0-6dB field uniformity requirements of IEC 1000-4-3.
