Faraday Cages
LBA's EMFaraCage® faraday cages are EMI and RFI shielding boxes and RF test enclosures that bring convenience to device testing. Faraday cages are ideal for isolating critical systems in high field RF environments or wherever RF ingress or egress must be minimized. Security, production testing, biomedical research and semiconductor testing are only a few of the many areas where EMFaraCage® faraday shielded enclosures are employed. EMFaraCage® faraday cage enclosure systems are fully featured to support a wide variety of test missions. The standard faraday cages include effective power, dataline and RF signal isolation in large test volumes. EMFaraCage® faraday cages are much more affordable than shielded room solutions and offer the convenience of portability.

VHF/UHF Digital RF WATT/VSWR Meter
PMR 3030
The PMR 3030 EXT Power Meter is a very versatile instrument covering communication bands from 30-1000 MHz. (The PMR 3030 is available for 30-500 MHz only. The PMR Power Meter is capable of measuring forward and reflected power in the range of a few milliwatts up to 500 Watts. The internal operating system controls measurement, display and the I/Os allowing serial communication to PC, USB to memory stick and USB Serial communication. The I/O options are used to write plots to either memory sticks or to a connected PC, the I/Os can also be used to operate the instrument, giving commands and receiving data. For documentation reference the instrument has a real time clock. Multilayer menus are used to setup and control the operation of parameters.

Mica Capacitors
Mica capacitors are widely used in low and medium power RF equipment and are stocked in depth. The styles most frequently encountered in medium wave broadcasting are the 291/G1, 292/G2, 293/G3 and 294/G4. Identical electrically, the "290" types are cast epoxy cylinders, while the "G" types use ceramic bodies and have cast aluminum (brass in some models) endplates with dual mounting holes. "G" types are only available on special order.

Digital RF Power Monitor
3024
The COMM-connect 3024 RF Power Monitor from LBA Technology can control up to 8 external RF Measuring heads. The high dynamic range with external couplers and RF measuring heads cover from 1W to 1MW. The Power conversion algorithms handles multi carrier, multi mode, peak, average and RMS signals. The power readout is auto scaled and VSWR can be calculated between any probes. Also the measured and calculated results along with alarms can be shown in the local LCD. The instrument has SNMP support to allow network management. The instrument can be configured for VSWR and Power limits to give alarms. The alarms can be configured to operate relay drivers or isolated Optcouplers. The alarms can also be configured as SNMP traps sending relevant information to the network control center. The COMM-connect 3024 WEB enabled RF Power Monitor gives an unlimited number of applications to monitor and control the last part of your RF network installation from transmitters to the antenna.

RF Architectural Shielding Products
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is often used interchangeably with RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). However, EMI can be any frequency of electromagnetic noise, whereas RFI is a relatively narrow range of electromagnetic noise on the EM spectrum. EMI Shielding can be used to mitigate electric and magnetic radiation across various spaces. Radio Frequency (RF) Shielding can be used to mitigate RFI with specifically designed enclosures that can block RFI. As well, RF Shielding can include application of RF Shielding paints, fabrics, and other materials.

RF Safety One Stop
Radio frequency energy pervades every corner of our environment. Silent and invisible, RF energy can pose direct health safety hazards to workers and the public, as well instigating fires, explosions and technical malfunctions. Employers, property owners and generators of RF energy, many naïve to RF, are all held liable for preventing impermissible exposures, injuries and losses by the FCC, OSHA and the courts.

RF Safety Monitoring
MVG EME Guard XS 6GHz
The EME Guard XS is an RF measuring device to alert workers near RF emitters for protection of climbers and other RF-exposed workers. It continuously scans for electromagnetic waves and, via its built-in alarm and visual system, alerts users whenever the acceptable pre-selected limits have been exceeded. This RF Safety PPE is extremely easy to use and supports a safer working environment in the areas of installation and maintenance.

Manpack MW Antenna
TGR-50 class
The TGR-50 class of rapidly deployable AM antennas is designed for easy transport and erection by limited personnel. No tower climbing or sophisticated lifting equipment are required for installation by a crew of three or four persons. Weight and packaging, according to model, typically permits transport by bearers, light vehicle, small boat, or helicopter. Disassembly and relocation is similarly convenient.

RF Monitor Recertification
The use of RF personal monitors is widespread among wireless tower climbers and technicians. This is a relatively new development of the last five years or so. Prior to that, only a few monitors were in use. These were typically models developed for use by engineers, with a host of features not needed for routine climber protection. Consequently, they were expensive and not frequently used. As safety managers have begun to require all personnel working on wireless facilities to have personal monitors among their personal protective equipment, a new generation of cost effective equipment has emerged.
