01
10 Meter TDK Semi-Anechoic Chamber
UltraTech's largest chamber is a 62'x42'x31' TDK semi-anechoic chamber, with external structural steel members providing additional support for the absorber load and any applicable seismic zone requirements. This chamber meets the ANSI 63.4 requirements for 3 and 10-meter test positions and is listed with FCC, ISED, ANAB, and VCCI for the purpose of performing radiated electromagnetic emissions testing over the frequency range of 10kHz to 40 GHz. In this certified chamber, testing will be conducted with an antenna to EUT distances of 3-to-10 meters. Radiated emissions testing shall be per FCC (US) Part 15, Subpart B, ISED (Canada) ICES-003, CE (Europe) CISPR 32, BSMI (Taiwan) CNS 13438 C6357, VCCI (Japan) V-3, and KCC-RRA (South Korea) KS C 9832 - Class A and B and other radio transmitters’ regulatory standards.
UltraTech's 3-to-10 meter TDK Semi-Anechoic Chamber is equipped with IP-090BLA material applied to the IB-015 ferrite tile surface, which completely covers the walls and ceiling to provide the required performance from 25 MHz to 18 GHz. A Sunol supplied 4-meter diameter, flush-mounted turntable with a 10,000 lb capacity and a 4-meter mast with pneumatic polarization are connected via a fiber optic link to the external controller. This chamber has an 8’(W) x 9’(H) access portal which facilitates the movement of large equipment into and out of the facility.
02
10m Compact Chamber
UltraTech's second-largest chamber is a 48'x24'x20' semi-anechoic chamber based on 20 cm ferrite tiles which have been stagger installed to reduce the effects of air gaps. The chamber may be used for radiated immunity testing of racks and cabinets that are too large for our 3m chambers. This chamber comes with an access portal of 8’(W)x8’(H) and may also be used for automotive, airborne and military EMC tests.
03
Multiple 3m Compact Chambers
Ultratech's lab facilities include several smaller chambers for various testing capabilities. For Radiated Immunity measurements, UltraTech employs a 3 m dedicated fully anechoic chamber with dimensions of 12'x24'x12' to provide consistent and repeatable uniform fields for meeting European EMC requirements based on the EN 61000-4-3 standard and other radiated Immunity standards. This chamber is implemented using the 10cm ferrite tiles on all chamber surfaces including the floor which ensures uniform fields down to 26 MHz. Using the latest Biconnilog antenna designs to speed testing along, UltraTech provides comprehensive automated control and monitoring systems that can record the effects of up to 8 individual analog channels if required. The chamber is equipped with a close circuit camera to monitor the performance of the EUT while subject to the radiated RF field. A 2nd 3m anechoic chamber is available and implemented with the more traditional pyramidal carbon-doped foam cones mounted on top of 10 cm ferrite tiles. The room dimensions measure 24'x12'x12' with the chamber being primarily designed for MIL-STD-461/462, Automotive and Aerospace testing. A 3rd shielded room measuring 24'x16'x8' is used primarily for conducted emissions and radiated interference power tests. 2 additional shielded rooms are also available for general usage that may be configured for other test requirements to provide flexibility in our testing capabilities.
04
SAR Test Chamber
UltraTech continues to use a SPEAG DASY 5.2 SAR test system. UltraTech is one of the few North American test houses that can carry out SAR tests for portable wireless devices such as cell phones, walkie-talkies, and wireless PDA devices. All test and measurement procedures are based on the IEC 62209-1528 harmonized standard developed for measuring SAR to domestic and international requirements. This service enhances UltraTech's capabilities to test and measure the full spectrum of wireless devices for Canadian, European, and U.S. markets.
05
Telecommunications Regulatory
Telecommunications test facility allows all legacy telecommunication devices such as analog telephones (PSTN), modems, fax machines, key telephone systems, ISDN, and T1 digital systems, to be tested to Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada CS-03 and FCC Part 68 (ACTA) requirements.
06
Product Safety Test Facility
UltraTech's lab facilities include a separately enclosed test area designed for product safety testing. Primary testing capabilities are designed for evaluation to International product safety standards, including Information Technology Equipment, Laboratory, Household, and medical. Our close affiliations with UL Canada, QPS Canada, and CSA allow us to work as an agent with these NCBs to help expedite testing resulting in faster turnaround times and a fully coordinated compliance program.
