ANECHOIC CHAMBERS
An Anechoic Chamber by Astra Shield is a high performance, controlled environment engineered to suppress both electromagnetic and acoustic energy. The term “anechoic” meaning “no echo.” These chambers are accurately designed by Astra Shield to absorb reflections of electromagnetic (EM) or acoustic waves, making them essential for precision testing of EMI devices, antennas, EMC compliance, radar systems, and acoustic components.
Construction & Core Components by Astra Shield
1. RF Shielded Enclosure by Astra Shield
Every Astra Shield anechoic chamber starts with an EMI shielded enclosure. This acts as a Faraday cage to eliminate external EMI.
Astra Shield-designed enclosures feature:
- Precision-engineered RF-shielded doors (manual or motorized)
- Waveguide honeycomb for ventilation without interference
- Filtered power and signal line entry points
- Optical fiber feedthrough panels
2. RF Absorbers by Astra Shield
Interior walls are lined with RF absorbers tailored to the test frequency range.
Materials used by Astra Shield include:
- Carbon-loaded pyramidal or wedge-shaped polyurethane foam
- Ferrite tiles for low-frequency applications (30 MHz to 1 GHz)
- Custom absorber profiles and heights for optimal reflection control
- Optical fiber feedthrough panels
3. Floor and Structural Systems – Custom by Astra Shield
- Non reflective flooring with resistive surface or absorber tiles
- Ferrite tiles Load-bearing flooring for walk-in and drive-in chambersfor low-frequency applications (30 MHz to 1 GHz)
