ANECHOIC AND RF/EMI SHIELDED DOORS

GPS Specialty Doors is a world leader in providing door solutions to the world’s most complex shielding problems. GPS has designed, fabricated and installed large scale anechoic chamber doors that meet or exceed performance level of 100dB at up to 100 GHz.

Shown at right and below is a bi-parting shielded anechoic chamber door installed for a leading research university at USAF base near Boston. The doors cover a 16’ wide by 30’ high opening in the main anechoic chamber. The doors bi-part at the center and slide to each side, minimizing the amount of wall space required to accommodate the doors.

Doors are sealed to each other at the center line via continuous rows of BeCu fingers that mate from one leaf to the other. Doors are sealed to the chamber via inflatable bladders that compress EMI gasketing into the RF surface of the door.

GPS Specialty Doors, with partner Global Partners in Shielding, handles all design, fabrication and installation in house with our dedicated team of professionals.

GPS can provide doors as replacements for your existing facility, or as stand alone components integrated into your new facility. GPS can also provide a turnkey solution to your complete array of facility needs.

Aircraft Aperture Doors

The T-Tail and extra large aircraft currently in service around the world require a unique solution to maintenance hangar design. These aircraft require a maximum height capacity to fit all the aircraft within the hangar. This requirement creates a very large building envelope, and this drives the price. But what if you do not need to fit the entire aircraft into the hangar? What if the tallest part of the aircraft could be left outside? This allows for a much smaller hangar, which equates to less expensive construction and operation of the facility.

An aperture door system is required to seal the hangar from weather and unwanted visitors. The apertures can be built within the main doors, or added on as a seperate door mounted to the face of the main doors. The aperture seals can be fixed foam or can be inflatable. Aperture doors can be configured for one specific aircraft alignment, or can be movable vertically and horiontally to accomodate many aircraft positions. Multiple doors can be utilized to accomodate several different aircraft types within one hangar.

GPS Specialty Doors has installed many Aircraft Aperture Door systems.
