Architectural Shielding-Security in a Connective World!
Architectural Shielding-Security in a Connective World! In our highly connected society, the need for secure spaces to protect sensitive information is paramount. Architectural shielding, specifically RF (radiofrequency) shielding provides an effective solution by blocking electromagnetic signals from entering or leaving a room. This preventing wireless eavesdropping on conversations and unauthorized access to wireless devices in the room. RF shielding is achievable by creating a shielded room or enclosure using conductive materials such as copper, aluminum, or metalized...

Shaken or Stirred-Reverberation Chamber Choices!
Shaken or Stirred-Reverberation Chamber Choices! Reverberation chambers are essential tools in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing. They create a diffuse, non-directional electromagnetic environment that accurately simulates real-world conditions. These chambers use signal stirrers and/or vibrating walls to scatter electromagnetic waves, ensuring uniform field distribution. When choosing a reverberation enclosure, understanding the differences between hard sided and soft sided options is crucial. Hard-sided enclosures are typically constructed from rigid materials like metal, which provide excellent durability and long-term stability. ...
