Compact, lightweight shielded enclosures and related methods
Compact, integral and ergonomic lightweight shielded enclosures provide a high level of acoustic, RF, EMI, EMP and CBR protection.
1. An integral, lightweight radio-frequency (RF) and acoustically shielded enclosure comprising:
a plurality of lightweight housings forming a structure connected together for providing at least physical security, the connected structure comprising at least one opening;
an inner structure comprising a lightweight frame for supporting one or more RF attenuation layers for attenuating RF signals;
one or more acoustical attenuation layers for attenuating acoustical signals; and
a lightweight cover operable as a door to allow ingress to, and egress from, the enclosure through the at least one opening.
2. The enclosure as in claim 1 wherein the lightweight housings comprise a carbon fiber material or fiberglass.
3. The enclosure as in claim 1 wherein the lightweight cover comprises a carbon fiber material or fiberglass.
4. An integral, lightweight radio-frequency (RF) and acoustically shielded enclosure comprising:
a plurality of lightweight housings forming a structure connected together for providing at least physical security, the connected structure comprising two openings;
an inner structure comprising a lightweight frame for supporting one or more RF attenuation layers for attenuating RF signals;
one or more acoustical attenuation layers for attenuating acoustical signals; and
a plurality of lightweight covers, each operable as a door to allow ingress to, and egress from, the enclosure through one of the openings.
5. An integral, lightweight radio-frequency (RF) and acoustically shielded enclosure comprising:
a plurality of lightweight housings forming a structure connected together for providing at least physical security, the connected structure comprising at least one opening;
a spacer section configured between two of the housings;
an inner structure comprising a lightweight frame for supporting one or more RF attenuation layers for attenuating RF signals;
one or more acoustical attenuation layers for attenuating acoustical signals; and
a lightweight cover operable as a door to allow ingress to, and egress from, the enclosure through the opening.
