Ensuring resilience in air force base infrastructure

High-performance, high-reliability protection filters address the demands for resilience – as well as compliance with exacting military standards – and have become mandatory in the interests of national security.

High performance means the achievement of high insertion losses across the full frequency spectrum. MPE’s power line filters provide very high insertion loss performance (dB against frequency in Hz) across the full frequency spectrum, from very low frequency (VLF) to super high frequency (SHF). Hence, MPE says their performance in protecting against electrical noise well exceeds the industry benchmarks for mains supply applications, which can be as high as 100dB in a frequency range, from 10kHz to 10GHz.

There has always been a need to ensure effective electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between disparate systems co-located in an environment congested with equipment. However, more recently, concerns about resilience have risen to the top of the agenda. In most applications, systems must now be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and operate safely and securely – without any interruption in service due to interference...
