LCR Embedded Systems’ position as the go-to supplier for the most unique design and manufacturing challenges has given us an unparalleled ability to perform analysis and optimization well beyond that offered by our competitors. Thanks to this experience, our customers can enjoy the advantages of field-proven, standards-based form factors no matter how demanding their particular requirements may be.

Having lived on the cutting edge of design and manufacture for so long has also given us a profound level of insight into the overall landscape of design and applications — what kinds of solutions work best for which applications today, and how those solutions are likely to evolve tomorrow. The graduate-level research experience of our technical staff further enhances this insight, resulting in a variety of research and development activities on topics of pressing concern to our customers, including those listed below.

If you have any questions about our research-related activities, we’ll be happy to discuss them with you. Please contact us at research@lcrembedded.com.

High-Altitude EMP Shielding and Radiation Hardening

RDShieldingThe simplest examples of magnetic shielding — physical sheaths or cages of conducting material — can both protect equipment inside the cage from interference coming from outside, or keep the electromagnetic signature of the equipment from leaking into the outside world where it could be studied and reveal more about the operation of the equipment than is desired. Other forms of shielding perform in a more active fashion, superficially similar to the operation of a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, which actively cancel out unwanted acoustic waves. Thanks to our on-staff research experience and industry relationships, LCR Embedded Systems is investigating passive and active forms of shielding and how they can be made available to customers without negatively impacting the performance of an overall system.
