Thus the bearings in the device would need to be extremely > strong and furthermore these would ideally be made of non-metallic material. > The Radio Spares website, http://rswww.com shows a "Euro unit" (RS part > number 887-843) which would be ideally suited as regards loading but it is > made of steel and thus not ideal from an EMC view point. > Does anyone know where I may find non-metallic units with similar loading > performance? > The other way of looking at this issue is by asking what effect the presence > of 4 or perhaps 6 small (55x37mm) totally isolated metallic units built into > a solid wood table approximately 1m diameter is likely to have on any > measurements taken within a fully anechoic chamber with an EUT size of > approximately 1x0.5x0.75m. > The cost of purchasing a proprietary turntable would be prohibitive. > Any opinions gratefully received. > > Ian Gordon > > *********************************************************************** > This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
