Ka-Band Shielding at 40 GHz The Ka-band spectrum is driving the next generation of communication systems. From 5G infrastructure to satellite ground stations and advanced defense radar, applications operating between 26.5 and 40 GHz demand unprecedented signal integrity. At 40 GHz, wavelengths shrink to 7.5 millimeters — a scale where conventional shielding approaches expose criticalRead More
Radiated vs. Conducted EMI Nothing fails a qualification test faster than a leaky gasket or an unfiltered power cord. For defense contractors and engineering teams, a failed MIL-STD-461 test means schedule delays, budget overruns and the frustration of rework. EMI is often treated as one monolithic problem, but the reality is more complex. When evaluatingRead More
Waveguide-Below-Cutoff Vents: Balancing Airflow and EMI Shielding in High-Security Enclosures Cooling high-security enclosures creates an engineering conflict. High-performance electronics require massive airflow to prevent thermal failure. However, standard ventilation methods, like louvers or perforated panels, act as wide-open doors for radio frequency (RF) leakage. For systems mandated to meet NSA 94-106 RF shielded enclosure spec/testingRead More
NEMA Type 6 Meets EMI/RFI Whether you're in the defense space or a private industry such as energy or mining, protecting your valuable and sensitive equipment is vital. This includes combating water, dust and impact damage. A NEMA Type 6 enclosure can help with this. But when your equipment is at risk of electromagnetic interferenceRead More
