00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.960
Hey MTV, welcome to my crib. Oh, I mean, sorry, prong video. Hey Flow Play, this is Jake here in the lab, and today

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:13.640
I'm doing a deep dive on our new Raymond EMC supplied RF chamber. Raymond EMC, these guys huge shout out once again

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:18.800
They provided this whole thing for us, and they were a huge help with getting some of the equipment that we need

00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:22.360
And getting everything started. So without further ado

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:26.580
The most satisfying door in this place

00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:34.220
This is the Raymond EMC quiet door, and I know Linus showed this off before

00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.300
But this is a knife edge that goes into some brilliant copper finger stock

00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:43.700
And I've seen a lot of people asking questions around, you know

00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:52.860
What's the maintenance like on on this kind of thing? Especially because we reference that one of the screws is actually out of torque and that caused a leakage at 18 gigahertz

00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:55.980
So with this we actually have a duty cycle

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:02.660
Every hundred times this door is open and closed. We've got to wipe all the contact surfaces around the outside

00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:08.380
Every thousand cycles we have to inspect and lubricate all the moving parts and every 5,000 cycles

00:01:08.380 --> 00:01:12.260
We actually have to polish all the contact surfaces and check the door alignment

00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:18.980
Raymond EMC is actually we coming back out to film a maintenance video for this that they'll have on their channel and

00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:24.500
To do this basically we use methyl spirits and a brillo pad. So it's nothing too crazy

00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:31.060
But it does present a bit of a challenge for Height challenged individuals like Linus to get up to the top of the door

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:38.900
so Another thing that people have been asking is, you know, what are we doing with the electromagnetic interference and EMI off the cameras?

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:44.660
Etc. And even the lighting so one thing we're not going to be filming the tests

00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:50.080
We will film recreations afterwards, but we're going to use the actual clean test data. So with the lighting

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:57.160
EMI is actually a big consideration. Thankfully Constellation lighting down in the States. They make these link

00:01:57.800 --> 00:02:00.600
LED systems and these are mil spec

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:05.960
So they're military standard 461g tested for zero EMI emission

00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:13.920
They're 65 watt 7,000 lumen and we can actually position on two axes so we can kind of adjust lighting in here

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:18.520
That makes it a lot easier to see because when the lights are out and the doors close

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:27.240
It doesn't work so well Over here, these are our negatives for our floor panels. They're actually

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:33.880
Really stable. So we're gonna have our test set up over here. We're gonna be broadcasting on our fire cell

00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:37.520
Lab kit that's gonna send signal over in that direction

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:43.760
And we're gonna have our device under test on a pedestal there. Ignore the big blue box. It will not exist and we're all ready

00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:50.000
effectively One of the considerations that we have when we're broadcasting

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:56.720
RF is that we can't broadcast too close to the device under test and we can't broadcast it to a high of a power rating

00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:05.360
Mainly because you can actually burn out equipment that way So with the lab kit, we're gonna have it positioned about a meter off the wall

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:13.440
And we're gonna have the device under test But the same and the reason for that is if your wavelength is too long so too low of a frequency

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:16.840
If you're too close, it can cause weirdness

00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:22.040
They don't call RF black magic for nothing. So we're gonna have it positioned off the wall

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:24.840
We're gonna have about three to four meters in between

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.440
And then we'll be able to measure different transmission power levels

00:03:28.440 --> 00:03:33.440
I know for for your people Arjun, and I'm gonna say that

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:36.200
in Australia

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:42.840
In Australia these LTE band 28 which is 700 megahertz. It's a fairly low band

00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:47.000
And we've had a couple people ask if we're gonna include them testing

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.920
I am gonna go through every LTE frequency band. So there will be data on that. Oh, yeah

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:58.200
And one of the really cool things to consider is okay. Well, if you're on a network that's utilizing a

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.600
Lower end of the frequency spectrum. You can actually get away with smaller batteries

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:07.720
Just for the simple fact that doesn't draw as much power

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.160
So yeah, we're we're gonna be doing some really cool tests on that

00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:17.240
I'm meeting with some reps from a couple of the different manufacturers of the spectrum analyzers

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:25.480
So we're looking into Possibly a rodent Schwartz like an FSW 43 or maybe one of the Gauss

00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:36.480
One of the G line probably But basically we need a 43 gigahertz spectrum analyzer and that's gonna come down to you know cost

00:04:37.760 --> 00:04:40.160
line ass or

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.360
In general ease of use, right? I want to get everything running as quickly as possible

00:04:45.760 --> 00:04:48.880
So we're gonna try and hit the ground running once everything comes in

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:54.560
In the meantime before we get that though, we do have our lab kit fire cell. It has arrived

00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.560
It's actually outside if you guys want to go

00:04:58.520 --> 00:05:04.760
So I know it doesn't look like much but in these three boxes here, we actually have our 5g and

00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.080
Our 4g radio as well as the actual main compute unit

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:14.760
These are are really cool These are

00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:16.760
this is the actual

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:24.040
Network broadcasts or the SDR. So this is the edis research. It's a usrp b210

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.600
So it's 70 megahertz to six gigahertz

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:32.080
Right now. We can't do millimeter wave That upgrade is coming out early next year

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:37.200
In the meantime, however, this is gonna get us kind of 80% of the way there

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:42.800
So we've got our 5g. We have our 4g in here. So we're getting the upgraded millimeter wave 5g

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:49.680
Early next year for our lab kit. We might actually add some equipment in the meantime that will kind of bridge that

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.640
I'm actually talking to to one of our viewers. Hopefully next week

00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.680
Who is in this space and and has some advice for us?

00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.400
So we're gonna listen and make sure that you know, we're not barking up the wrong tree

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:06.760
and then outside of that You know, this is running our network, but we also need to you know

00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:14.560
Have something in there to record tests. So for that, we went with this sira7. It's a completely silent fanless

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.600
solid-state PC. It's totally passively cooled

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.680
You can tell because it's basically a giant aluminium heatsink

00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:28.960
And the reason we went with a solid-state PC is just because there's no fans and fans can generate EMI

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.440
So we want to try and minimize that as much as possible. So that's why we wanted that

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.120
It's a decent little AMD Ryzen 5. It's a 5000 series

00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:44.960
CPU in there Nothing crazy, but we don't really need anything too high spec. So yeah

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:50.560
The other really cool thing is about how we get our network inside the box because obviously can't use wi-fi

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.760
And it's this wave guide now one of the really really interesting things with this

00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:03.680
Is that this is actually a plug And you notice it has this really really handy late warning label

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:07.280
saying Tempest hazard with plug removed

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.760
Now for those of you that don't know what a tempest attack is

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:18.880
It's effectively a way to use rf to eavesdrop on displays. It's really cool

00:07:19.440 --> 00:07:24.960
It's not new But there's not really a huge amount of people kind of in the public space that talk about it

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:30.160
Effectively you could be in another room or on the other side of a hotel wall

00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:35.200
Broadcast a signal and you can pick up what's going on

00:07:35.760 --> 00:07:40.400
On a display and you can set one of these attacks up for like 300 to 400 dollars

00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:45.440
If you plus a laptop So one of the things that I really want to do

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:52.720
Possibly for a flow plane exclusive. We'll see is actually run a tempest attack online us in the chamber

00:07:53.600 --> 00:08:01.120
Come on we can leak the stream keys again. We can we can find out his emails. We you know everything

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.760
It'll be great his life easier, right? So yeah, so if that plug is removed

00:08:06.880 --> 00:08:11.280
Boom, it's wide open Yeah, so I think that'll be pretty cool

00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.960
And finally one of the things that I've seen quite a few people ask is

00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:19.760
You know if one screw or bolt out of torque can cause a leak

00:08:20.320 --> 00:08:29.040
You know how a how do we maintain that? Um and b why didn't we just weld everything together? Well, these chambers are actually designed to be modular

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.920
We can extend this if we need to say we want to

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.480
Turn it into a three meter chamber and do full iso compliance tests

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.600
We can do that. We get raymond emc to come back out

00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:43.760
We re-level this area of the floor and they can extend this as much as we want

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.600
So it's designed to be modular and then

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:52.960
Secondly as far as testing to make sure that you know everything's within spec that comes down to the duty cycle

00:08:53.280 --> 00:08:58.160
When we're inspecting any of the moving parts and things And we can actually do signal generator

00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:04.480
Via spectrum analyzer tests so we can have it broadcasting inside and we can go around and we can measure the outside

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:12.400
It's not something we're going to have to do often But we'll probably end up doing it probably once every four to six months

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.680
Just to make sure everything's working well I might even do a spot check once a month

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.360
Just in a couple different places mainly around like the moving parts make sure the door has good contact

00:09:24.400 --> 00:09:28.400
Near the electrical maybe but yeah, it's not really a huge concern

00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:34.800
But thank you guys for bringing it up Now traditionally a lot of the foam in here would be held on by adhesive

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:42.560
It's a bit of a pain Not just installed but you know someone falls against the foam or tip breaks off and you want to replace it

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.680
So tdk came up with something really cool

00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:57.280
Their magnets we can actually pull off these panels if we wanted to introduce reflection

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:01.600
So if we wanted to you know get the signal bouncing real good in here

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.400
Take off a row of these and yeah, you can introduce some really interesting artifacts

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.880
If we need to replace them, we just unscrew the magnets at the back put the new foam

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.680
And pop it back in so yeah, it's a it's a really ingenious

00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:22.960
Installation process and it makes life a lot easier to maintain. That's so satisfying. Yeah

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.800
the only the big pain in the ass with that though

00:10:28.880 --> 00:10:34.560
Was that When the electrician was on the roof wiring everything up

00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:40.160
The thud of him knocked one of these panels

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.240
Up here off right

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.600
Well, I'm six three

00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.640
And I can't reach yeah, and I can't put a ladder in here. Yeah

00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.960
So, uh, yeah unless it completely falls off you can't no it did. Oh, I did fall. Okay. Okay. It's stuck

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.720
Oh, I guess you still can't be into the answer. Yeah. Yeah, I had to grab a broom

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:09.840
and I had to grab a mop like a

00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.000
One of the mobs that has like the removable

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:19.120
She or like cloth over it and I had to use two of those to like push it back up onto the ceiling
