Description

TC-5820AP RF Shield Box Key Benefits

  • High durability and reliable RF shielding and Audio Isolation
  • Effective radiation testing environment with RF absorber
  • Specifically designed for various shapes of small mobile wireless audio devices
  • Pneumatic operation of lid and fixture movements
  • Remote control by RS-232C
  • EMI filters on all data ports and power line

The TESCOM TC-5820AP RF Shield Box is a pneumatic version of the similar size manual type box, TC-5922BU-01.  The TC-5820AP RF Shield Box provides excellent reliable RF shielding and audio noise isolation for RF and audio quality testing. The pneumatic version, TC-5820AP shield box shares the same high quality features of the TC-5820BU-01 but with the pneumatics feature. It now provides improved shielding for RF and audio testing to meet the higher frequency testing demands of wireless technology devices as well as higher quality audio devices.  This Faraday cage is designed for OTA testing as all the interior walls are lined with highly absorbent RF and acoustic absorber along with a layer of ferrite absorber to minimize any reflections when performing RF Over-the-Air (OTA) or audio testing.   Add one of our grid fixtures and antenna couplers to make the TC-5820AP Pneumatic Shield Box an ideal OTA test solution for any wireless  DUT(Device-Under-Test).

A custom fixture can help minimize false failures and maximize your throughput but helping reduce operator error during testing.  Also, ask about our custom audio speaker and microphone(pickup) device integration to a custom fixture.

Typical RF Shielding

Typical RF Shielding

The shield effectiveness below is measured when the blank panel is mounted; other I/O interface panel results a different shielding effectiveness of the shield box.
  • .1 to 2 GHz > 70 dB
  • 2 to 3 GHz > 70 dB
  • 3 to 6 GHz > 70 dB

***Isolation example above is based on I/O configuration as specified above. Isolation may be higher or lower based on specific I/O configuration installed.

  • Each shielding effectiveness is measured when each I/O interface panel, which is shown above, is mounted.
  • Above data was measured by Tescom, The Shielding Effectiveness might be different based on the measuring method and condition.
  • This data has been measured under the condition that the cables are not connected to each filters. When the cables are connected it can affect the shielding performance.
