ACTON, MA - May 23, 2019 - Associated Environmental Systems allows you to test products while blocking radio frequency (RF) waves without the use of an additional Faraday cage. The FDR-501 and FDR-505 environmental test chambers offer 1 and 5 cubic foot workspaces that block RF waves from entering and leaving the workspace.
Previously, a device under test (DUT) needed to be placed inside a Faraday cage to block RF waves, significantly increasing testing time. When a Faraday cage is used, conditioning a DUT requires much longer test cycles due to compromised air flow, uniformity, and the time it takes for the Faraday cage to radiate the temperature to the DUT. While testing under these conditions, engineers also lost the ability to monitor their products.
Today, using an Associated Environmental Systems’ FDR test chamber provides blocking and trapping a wide range of radio waves. The factors that create RF blocking conditions are the outcome of thoughtful design work that combines high-grade steel, specialized door gaskets, and various mesh substrates to protect ports and air circulation paths from frequency waves moving in and out of the workspace. Using the FDR chamber can dramatically cut your test time, by as much as half.
