11,000 sq m (120,000 sq ft) of manufacturing, sales, service, and
administration space. In addition, the
facility features the largest outdoor open-area test site in the United States. ETS-Lindgren’s A2LA-Accredited Calibration
Laboratory (Lab Cert #1207.01) is equipped with calibrated instrumentation
traceable to National Metrology Institutes (NMI), several anechoic chambers,
test cells, and an 80 m x 50 m (262 ft x 164 ft) welded steel ground plane for
antenna calibration. A view of products specially
designed and manufactured for protection against HPEM, high-altitude electromagnetic
pulse (HEMP), and intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) will be
included in the Technical Tour. An ‘all-you-can-eat’
Texas-style lunch buffet rounds out the tour experience.
