RF Safety One Stop
Radio frequency energy pervades every corner of our environment. Silent and invisible, RF energy can pose direct health safety hazards to workers and the public, as well instigating fires, explosions and technical malfunctions. Employers, property owners and generators of RF energy, many naïve to RF, are all held liable for preventing impermissible exposures, injuries and losses by the FCC, OSHA and the courts.

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 Safety Monitoring
MVG EME Guard XS 6GHz
The EME Guard XS is an RF measuring device to alert workers near RF emitters for protection of climbers and other RF-exposed workers. It continuously scans for electromagnetic waves and, via its built-in alarm and visual system, alerts users whenever the acceptable pre-selected limits have been exceeded. This RF Safety PPE is extremely easy to use and supports a safer working environment in the areas of installation and maintenance.

Manpack MW Antenna
TGR-50 class
The TGR-50 class of rapidly deployable AM antennas is designed for easy transport and erection by limited personnel. No tower climbing or sophisticated lifting equipment are required for installation by a crew of three or four persons. Weight and packaging, according to model, typically permits transport by bearers, light vehicle, small boat, or helicopter. Disassembly and relocation is similarly convenient.

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.

RF Safety Monitoring
FieldSENSE 60
The fieldSENSE 60 personal RF monitor has a proven track record of durability that works as hard as you do. fieldSENSE 60 is specifically designed with the RF climber in mind. Whether working in the nearfield of a broadcast system or in the far-field of a 5G system, exposure is correctly assessed and a warning is sounded, should the levels approach and exceed the OET65 and Safety Code 6 occupational limits. To ensure the device cannot be dropped off site, connect he device can be attached the included special harness-attachment mechanism. In the event of a warning while the monitor has fallen the buzzer is still within hearing range.

MW AM Broadcast Mobile Antenna System
TUP-3
The TUP-3 system is capable of transmitting efficiently at carrier frequencies from below 1000 kHz to over 1700 kHz. It is rated for power to 5000 watts, 125 percent modulated. Housed is a weatherproof cabinet, the integral tuning unit features high quality electronic components and matches the TUP-3 system to a 50 ohm transmission line. The self-supporting design of the tower also minimizes erection time and complexity.

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.

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.

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.
