Faraday cages and shielded rooms

Faraday Cages and Shielded Rooms – EMC Solutions

The growing number of electronic devices, wireless communication systems, and IoT technologies makes electromagnetic phenomena increasingly complex and demanding of control. Proper electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a key element in designing, testing, and certifying devices – regardless of the industry.

That is why we offer a wide range of EMC shielding and testing solutions that protect against the influence of electromagnetic fields, help reduce emissions, and ensure compliance with applicable standards.

In the category of Faraday cages and shielded rooms, we present different types of shielding systems:

• EMC tents – lightweight and mobile structures for preliminary testing and temporary setups,
• Faraday cages – solid, modular rooms for permanent protection and laboratory testing,
• GTEM chambers – advanced measurement structures designed for precise electromagnetic compatibility testing.

Each of these solutions is optimized for different applications – from mobile laboratories to professional testing centers and industrial research environments.

EMC Tents – Mobile Shielding in Practice

SOLIANI EMC tents are modern, portable solutions for shielding the workspace against electromagnetic fields. Their design combines lightness, mobility, and high attenuation efficiency, making them ideal in applications where fast setup, transportability, and adaptability to changing test conditions are important.

The tent structure is based on a stable aluminum frame that can be easily folded and adjusted to individual dimensions. The fabric part is made of nickel-based conductive fabric, providing corrosion resistance and optimal shielding properties. The materials used guarantee an attenuation effectiveness of up to 70 dB in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 3 GHz, allowing reliable EMC testing in both field and laboratory conditions.

By using conductive zippers, Velcro, or magnetic fasteners, EMC tents maintain high shielding continuity even in access areas. Optional equipment includes shielded windows, power line filters, cable pass panels, lighting systems, and honeycomb air filters.

This solution is especially valued by R&D teams, EMC laboratories, manufacturing companies, and testing institutes that require a flexible, quick-to-use shielding system without building a permanent room.

Fully designed and manufactured in Italy, SOLIANI tents are corrosion-resistant, meet MIL STD 285 and IEEE standards, and can be customized according to the client’s requirements both in terms of dimensions and shielding level.

Faraday Cages – Professional Electromagnetic Protection

EMCEK Faraday cages and shielded rooms are advanced constructions designed for effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and for conducting electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests. Thanks to their modular design and the use of high-quality conductive materials, these solutions offer the ideal combination of stability, shielding precision, and configuration flexibility.

The basis of Faraday cage operation is the principle of electromagnetic isolation – electromagnetic waves and currents are “trapped” within the conductor structure, effectively blocking radiation from penetrating both inside and outside the chamber. As a result, an environment completely free from external field influence is created, necessary for reliable EMC testing and measurements, as well as for protecting sensitive equipment and data.

EMCEK solutions feature a modular panel construction that allows for easy assembly, expansion, and modification according to the user’s needs. Every system element – from shielded panels to doors and cable pass-throughs – is designed to maintain the highest level of electromagnetic sealing. Special EMC doors offer shielding effectiveness up to 100 dB in the frequency range up to 40 GHz, ensuring protection even in the most demanding test environments.

EMCEK Faraday cages are widely used in:

• EMC testing and research laboratories,
• industrial centers conducting electronic device tests,
• data centers and server rooms,
• military units, government institutions, and strategic facilities.

As the official distributor, DACPOL offers full support in designing, customizing, and integrating shielding systems. Thanks to EMCEK’s experience and flexible modular design, it is possible to create cages tailored to individual requirements – in terms of size, attenuation level, and additional functions (e.g., filtering, ventilation, lighting, or integration with security systems).

GTEM Chambers – Precise EMC Measurements

GTEM (Giga-hertz Transversal Electro-Magnetic) chambers by EmcTest Technologies are advanced measurement devices designed for the highest precision and repeatability of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests. Their construction is based on the TEM waveguide principle, which ensures a uniform electromagnetic field distribution and eliminates unwanted reflections and disturbances.

Thanks to their unique design, GTEM chambers provide a modern alternative to traditional anechoic chambers and full-size shielded rooms. They allow measurements of radiated emissions, immunity to disturbances, ESD testing, as well as specialized studies – e.g., biomedical, telecommunications, or dosimetry applications.

These devices comply with IEC 61000-4 standards, offer broadband operation up to 20 GHz, and high shielding effectiveness. Reinforced INOX steel construction, precise manufacturing, and optimized interior geometry provide a uniform electromagnetic field even at low input power.

GTEM chambers also feature high configurability – users can equip them with additional pass-throughs, filters, connectors, or measurement accessories, adapting the device to specific testing requirements. Various models are available (e.g., EMC GTM 250, 500, 750, 1000 mm), making it easy to select the right version for the size of tested devices and measurement range.

The use of GTEM chambers significantly reduces test setup time, lowers the cost of building full-size anechoic chambers, and ensures high repeatability and compliance with international EMC standards. They are an ideal solution for research laboratories, technical universities, electronics manufacturers, and certification units requiring precise and scalable EMC testing tools.
