RF-ShIelDING
RF-Shielding
The RF-shielding is Frankonia’s basic system and follows the principles of the Faraday cage. The modular and prefabricated high-quality RFshielding is typically a pan-type shielding made of 2.0 mm galvanized steel that is manufactured to perfection. Frankonia’s shielding is used
for all kinds of chambers and shielded rooms, such as control room, amplifier room, or any other room that requires a shielded standard.
Standardization matters to ensure the highest shielding quality and to ensure a maximum of functionality and flexibility that adapts to all
special conditions. The complete shielding system is designed to match current or even future modifications and requirements in length, width
and height. Thanks to the modular and prefabricated system, modifications can be realized in a very short time at lowest costs, minimizing dirt,
dust and noise. Frankonia’s contribution to an overall modular system allows for a complete transfer of all kinds of chamber and is therefore
a future-proofed solution.
Each pan-type shielding module offers an all-side reverse bending
in order to achieve a self-supporting static structure, and to bolt the
modules correctly. Besides this, it allows for an internal installation of
accessories without penetrating the shielding. Frankonia’s shielding
is prepared for internal bolting that allows an installation very close
to the building surface. In special cases, the shielding can be bolted
in reverse from outside. The corners are welded completely in-house
and so are assured a perfect connection to the surrounding modules.
Frankonia’s shielding is a complete self-supporting construction
system with a module standard of 3.0 x 1.2 m that is bolted every
75.0 mm. In between all modules a highly conductive mesh gasket is integrated that ensures a long-lasting shielding quality. Within
this system, all Frankonia components, e.g., honeycombs, doors and
gates, feed-throughs or filters, offers the same RF quality level.

The standard shielding is made of German steel that offers a minimum of 20.0 µm galvanic coating in accordance with DIN 17162/EN
10142 with quality index DX 52 D+Z. The acceptable tolerance is in
accordance with DIN/EN 10143 limited and is a minimum 275 g/m2.
Steel structure
PAGE 6
For static purposes, larger chambers require an additional steel structure support that perfectly meets the shielding fixation, considers a variable static design for different chamber sizes and configurations, and adapts to any specific building characteristics and conditioning layouts.
Frankonia’s steel structure is a totally self-supporting system and does not require a connection to the existing building. Furthermore, the
steel structure is painted for corrosion prevention with a guarantee of 10 years. Moreover, Frankonia’s steel structure considers country-specific
seismic conditions as well as low point loading to the buildings’ concrete slab.
Features
t Prefabricated and modular shielding modules; incl. steel structure
that meets specific static purposes
t High-class and identical shielding attenuation for modules,
doors, gates and all accessories
t Various doors and gates, as well as ramps and platforms

springs. Furthermore, this system reduces the maintenance intervals to a minimum, ensuring a stable shielding
performance.
Gates
All gates are available in a fully automatic version without limitation in size, which meets all kinds of EUT and
customer-specific requirements. Any version of the sliding gate is perfectly integrated to the shielding and respects
the in-plane lining of the wall absorbers. A great advantage of Frankonia’s sliding doors and gates is the fact that
all types of pyramid and hybrid absorbers, up to a length of 2.4 m, can be directly installed on the door leaf. Considering the EC machinery directive for safety issues to ensure a user-friendly and safe movement, audio and visible
signals automatically turn on while moving.

VeNTIlATION, FeeD-ThROuGh AND
WAVe-GuIDe COmPONeNTS
Frankonia as a specialist in RF-shielding and EMC testing chambers provides complementary, standardized and customized products to maintain its position as a turnkey provider. This includes, for instance, connection panel (CP) located in the floor, penetration panels (PP) incl. connectors located on the wall, wave-guide components for liquids, air or gases, fiberglass feed-through components, special cable feed-through
via RFI trap, and all kinds of ventilation and air conditioning.
Ventilation
The ventilation in chambers and shielded rooms is a very important aspect for the
comfort of users, but is mainly necessary to ensure a stable temperature during the
test procedure, a cooling of the equipment under test (EUT), and is furthermore
required in order to reproduce testing conditions. The shielded ventilation can be
realized via special filters called honeycomb with a frequency range from 10 kHz
up to 18 GHz (40 GHz as option), and can be located individually on the shielding
modules that meet any applications, e.g., for air balancing, gas exhaustion, or with
a tube adapter. Frankonia’s honeycombs are designed in such a way that local air
ducts can be easily mounted. In the scope of Frankonia’s turnkey capabilities, a
complete air conditioning unit is available for any kind of chamber size and application. Gas evacuating and protection systems as well as extinguishing systems
are available too.

Chamber interior
Frankonia’s shielded rooms and chambers of every kind provide an appealing internal finish. This includes an adapted inner lining for walls
and ceilings that can be made with almost every material our customers desire, for instance, glass, plasterboard, PVC or stainless steel. The floor
is designed as a false floor that is adjustable in height in order to ensure a minimum space for all necessary ducting.
The standard version allows a load of 500 kg/m2, but is almost without limitation according to customers’ requirements. In the case of a semi-anechoic chamber, a ground plane of 2.0 mm made of hot-galvanized steel is installed
on the false floor that is perfectly connected to the shielding modules on the walls. In order to support any kind of
EUT weights, Frankonia has special solutions to support heavyweight EUT’s, even taking into account more than 80.0
tons. Inside a fully anechoic chamber the requirement is different, and a lifted floor made of wood or plastic is necessary. In this case, the lifted floor can be realized for the whole surface, as a catwalk in certain parts of the chamber,
or as free walkway around the front of the absorbers.
Features
t Internal cladding with various materials possible
t False floors and heavyweight floors without limitations in weight
t Ground plane for SAC or low-reflective lifted floors for FAC available
electrical integration
The complete electrical integration for each chamber is designed according to EU safety standards and is prepared as
an upgradable solution that allows future modifications. In its standard configuration, an electrical distribution box
with MCBs and RCDs, illumination with halogen or LED lights, connection panels for the false floor, and an emergency panic button incl. a battery buffered emergency light are considered.
Depending on which absorber lining is selected, Frankonia’s electrical distribution box is accessible from inside or
outside, and ensures at all times a user-friendly control. All our lights are optionally available with a lamp lifter in
order to change the lighting situation or to change bulbs. Along with our white-colored absorbers and their ability
to reduce possible reflections, the quantity of lights can be configured to a minimum and offer optimum lighting conditions. In order to provide the necessary power and data line connections for the EMC testing procedures,
Frankonia’s connection panels can be placed in the false floor and individually configured with power outlets and
connectors. Additional to the connection panels in the floor are the penetration panels located at the walls. Furthermore, a complete range of power line, data line, and signal line filters are available, too. Frankonia’s specially
