We have 24" pyramidal foam absorbers on the walls and ceiling, and ferrite tiles on the floor. DC and 60Hz & 400 Hz single & three phase filtered power available. I can send you a floor plan of the facility. We can generate 200 V/M from 10 kHz through 18 GHz, swept continuously, with any modulation. Verification of the applied field strength is available, in real time, using multiple E-field sensors. We have an ESD work area, with tools and general lab equipment for your use. Stereo microscopes and other SMD equipment are also available. And we are located in San Diego (aerial photos to prove it). Contact me for a formal quote!
