Mesa Solutions
Power System in Stellenbosch

MESA specializes radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation techniques using RF measurement and computational electromagnetic software in South Africa and internationally. MESA Solutions consults, innovates and educates in the wide-ranging disciplines of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and metrology.

MESA Solutions consults, innovates and educates in the wide-ranging disciplines of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and metrology, both locally and abroad. MESA is rooted in the winelands of Southern Africa with Table Mountain in its skyline. Wind turbine EMI characterisation and analysis (used in environmental impact assessments) The expertise in MESA Solutions derives from sustained academic research on electromagnetic projects and metrology going back to the 1980's. MESA Solutions has been involved in: EMI mitigation and EMC management of South Africa's Square Kilometre Array Demonstrator: MeerKAT; interference analysis and remediation on numerous small and large scale systems; corona interference reduction measures on high voltage power lines; sparking detection on power lines; EMC facility validation; general study of high frequency cabling systems. MESA is additionally interested in providing pertinent instruction to industry and has prepared short course and laboratory material for this purpose. MESA Solutions makes use of a leading commercial method of moments (MoM) based electromagnetic (EM) solver for both industry and educational purposes. Various problems ranging from antenna design, coupling between various elements on a large navy vessels, as well as reflection and scattering coefficients of incident waves on wind turbines have been solved computationally using this software package. A tutorial in the EMC Fundamentals for Laboratories and Industry course helps course participants visualise fields and currents on simple structures as shown below.
