Intelligently designed, down to the last detail.

Shielded rooms
Rooms with electromagnetic shielding have a sealed metal envelope that works according to the principle of a Faraday cage. They are needed for medical examinations like MRI and for other purposes. The shielding prevents the penetration or escape of radiation. In this way, it firstly guarantees sharp MRI images and secondly ensures that electrical devices outside the rooms (e.g. pacemakers) are not disturbed by the MRI magnetic field. We cooperate with our subsidiary EM Shields to build eavesdropping secure rooms based on the Faraday principle for business enterprises, governments and defence institutions.

Absorber chambers
Absorber chambers are shielded and panelled additionally with absorbers on the inside. This creates controlled test and analysis conditions without interfering reflections – e.g. for the testing of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Manufacturers of electronic devices and components use absorber chambers to provide that their products are not disturbed by common radio frequencies and that their own radiation does not cause interference for other devices. So-called microwave chambers are special absorber chambers that are shielded for high-frequency radiation up to 96 GHz. Their uses include functional testing for antennae, wireless devices, mobile communications devices or radar technology.

6 reasons for Albatross Projects

1

Because excellent performance is always dependable.

Shielded rooms and absorber chambers by Albatross Projects deliver outstanding, reliable performance, tailored to your requirements.

2

Because we check the quality of every single component.

Every component in an absorber chamber is vital in order to guarantee the necessary shielding performance and absorptive attenuation. This is why all of the components we use – and all of our production methods – are subjected to strict internal quality testing according to DIN ISO 9001.

3

Because solutions by Albatross Projects are always designed to last.

Test chambers by Albatross Projects are designed to preserve their performance reliably for decades – with minimum maintenance outlay and overheads. Absorber chambers by Albatross Projects remain in operation 50 years after their construction, effortlessly complying with modern standards.

4

Because we adapt to your requirements – now and in the future.

We design with and for you the ideal solutions with tailored performance, ergonomics and economic efficiency. The modular system means we can adapt the chamber efficiently if your requirements change. For instance, an absorber chamber can be completely relocated, enlarged or adapted to suit a new application in regard to its absorbent capacity. The underlying quality of our chambers is so outstanding that an improvement in absorption characteristics is possible at any time.

5

Because we have over 80 years of experience and comprehensive know-how.

Albatross Projects was originally established over 80 years ago. The specialists in our development department are respected experts in a variety of disciplines and played a key role in defining the German and European standards we use today. We possess outstanding technical expertise and also set standards in regard to practical implementation. All of this is built on our project management, which reliably organises the requirements, schedule and budget of your project.

6
