RF Architectural Shielding Products
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is often used interchangeably with RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). However, EMI can be any frequency of electromagnetic noise, whereas RFI is a relatively narrow range of electromagnetic noise on the EM spectrum. EMI Shielding can be used to mitigate electric and magnetic radiation across various spaces. Radio Frequency (RF) Shielding can be used to mitigate RFI with specifically designed enclosures that can block RFI. As well, RF Shielding can include application of RF Shielding paints, fabrics, and other materials.

CAMI® Broadband AM Isocouplers
LBA Technology’s CAMI® series of new-concept low, medium, and high power broadband isolators are the modern way to mount additional antennas on “hot” AM towers. These broadband colocation systems offer a simple, economical solution to take full advantage of existing vertical real estate. The LBA CAMI® isocoupler family supports any combination of RF carriers from DC to 2700 MHz or more, and conservative RF power levels to 40,000 watts at FM.

Mica Capacitors
Mica capacitors are widely used in low and medium power RF equipment and are stocked in depth. The styles most frequently encountered in medium wave broadcasting are the 291/G1, 292/G2, 293/G3 and 294/G4. Identical electrically, the "290" types are cast epoxy cylinders, while the "G" types use ceramic bodies and have cast aluminum (brass in some models) endplates with dual mounting holes. "G" types are only available on special order.

VHF/UHF Digital RF WATT/VSWR Meter
PMR 3030
The PMR 3030 EXT Power Meter is a very versatile instrument covering communication bands from 30-1000 MHz. (The PMR 3030 is available for 30-500 MHz only. The PMR Power Meter is capable of measuring forward and reflected power in the range of a few milliwatts up to 500 Watts. The internal operating system controls measurement, display and the I/Os allowing serial communication to PC, USB to memory stick and USB Serial communication. The I/O options are used to write plots to either memory sticks or to a connected PC, the I/Os can also be used to operate the instrument, giving commands and receiving data. For documentation reference the instrument has a real time clock. Multilayer menus are used to setup and control the operation of parameters.

RF Inductors
LBA Technology "Blue Line" RF inductors are based on over 30 years of proven international performance. Blue Line inductors are unsurpassed for hi-Q, stability, and low RF losses. These inductors are manufactured from heavy silver plated copper conductors and brass fittings, treated to resist tarnishing. Windings are insulated with melamine or G-1 0 epoxy laminates. These materials are recognized for their exceptional RF qualities, arc resistance, mechanical strength, and low moisture absorption. Supporting frames are engineered to permit maximum access to windings for convenience in adjustment. The metallic frames are separated by insulators to prevent induced current flow.

Digital RF Power Monitor
3024
The COMM-connect 3024 RF Power Monitor from LBA Technology can control up to 8 external RF Measuring heads. The high dynamic range with external couplers and RF measuring heads cover from 1W to 1MW. The Power conversion algorithms handles multi carrier, multi mode, peak, average and RMS signals. The power readout is auto scaled and VSWR can be calculated between any probes. Also the measured and calculated results along with alarms can be shown in the local LCD. The instrument has SNMP support to allow network management. The instrument can be configured for VSWR and Power limits to give alarms. The alarms can be configured to operate relay drivers or isolated Optcouplers. The alarms can also be configured as SNMP traps sending relevant information to the network control center. The COMM-connect 3024 WEB enabled RF Power Monitor gives an unlimited number of applications to monitor and control the last part of your RF network installation from transmitters to the antenna.

Faraday Cages
LBA's EMFaraCage® faraday cages are EMI and RFI shielding boxes and RF test enclosures that bring convenience to device testing. Faraday cages are ideal for isolating critical systems in high field RF environments or wherever RF ingress or egress must be minimized. Security, production testing, biomedical research and semiconductor testing are only a few of the many areas where EMFaraCage® faraday shielded enclosures are employed. EMFaraCage® faraday cage enclosure systems are fully featured to support a wide variety of test missions. The standard faraday cages include effective power, dataline and RF signal isolation in large test volumes. EMFaraCage® faraday cages are much more affordable than shielded room solutions and offer the convenience of portability.

Lightning Masts
PLP- 32
PLP- 32 Lightning Masts are recommended for a wide range of lightning protection applications where it is impossible or undesirable to attach conventional lightning terminals. Other models in the series share the same attributes and differ only in height and weight.PLP-32 Lightning Masts provide a cone of protection within which lightning charges are diverted to the mast and grounded instead of to the protected object. Multiple PLP-32 masts may be used to protect extended areas. Protected areas may be determined by use of the widely accepted “rolling sphere” concept. For example, a single PLP-32 mast will protect 9 foot (2.14 m) high portable buildings wholly within a 40 foot (12.19 m) radius. An array of five PLP-32 masts will protect a camp of portable buildings within a 25,000 square foot (2323 m2) area. Consult LBA Technology™ for specific layouts you wish to protect.
