Electromagnetics
Our facilities are equipped and staffed to test electromagnetic environmental effects, antenna patterns and parameters, radio- frequency scattering and cross section, electromagnetic behavior of materials, and electro-optic and laser systems. With both indoor and outdoor facilities -- including the world's largest indoor antenna and radio-frequency scattering range -- we work with you to match test protocol and environment to your test item, large or small. Our electromagnetic interference test facilities support both military and commercial standards.
The lightning test laboratory can test full-size components and installed systems. Material measurement laboratories facilitate development, characterization, and evaluation of specialized materials and radomes. Radio-frequency, electro-optics, and infrared signature laboratories are colocated to help you manage cycle times and costs for a broad spectrum of tests.
Testing capabilities include:
- Antenna ranges
- Radiation pattern measurement
- Antenna impedance
- Phased array antenna impedance
- IR and visual signature prediction and analysis
- HIRF testing
- TEMPEST testing
- EMP signal injection/free field testing
- Direct and indirect lightning testing capabilities
- RCS RF and IR material properties
- Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) chambers
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing
- Electromagnetic effects (EME) shield rooms
