This electronic housing achieves a similar electromagnetic shielding performance at a significantly lower mass (20–30 %) compared to typical benchmarks.
Since 2005 the technology provider is investigating the electromagnetic influence in the presence of CFRP (e.g. under contract to ESA) in collab- oration with several German and European entities. Extensive material tests using waveguide measurements and other techniques have been conducted. The materials included different carbon fibre types, CFRP/AL- honeycomb sandwich structures as well as conductive matrices achieved by Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) doping.
