Assessing Whole-Body Absorption Cross Section For Diffuse Exposure From Reverberation Chamber Measurements

Rapid and accurate broadband absorption cross-section measurement of human bodies in a reverberation chamber

DIFFUSE REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENTS FROM DIFFERENT SURFACES

Relative diffuse reflection measurements from the original and ground surfaces using a He-Ne laser are reported. The intensity measurements for the metallic, transparent dielectric, matte plastic surfaces and colored papers are presented. Our results indicate that among metallic surfaces tested, aluminum has the highest diffuse reflectance; while the original stainless steel surface shows the l...

Absorbing Cross Section in Reverberation Chamber: Experimental and Numerical Re- Sults

Reverberation chamber (RC) test facility allows to determine the absorbing cross section (ACS) of lossy materials under a random field excitation. Measurements are based on the quality factor variation produced by the sample under test presence with respect to the empty chamber condition. Simulations are based on the representation of the RC electromagnetic field by means of a random plane wave...

A Radio Frequency Radiation Reverberation Chamber Exposure System for Rodents

Reverberation chambers have long been used for EMC measurements on equipment; however, it was only recently that they have been developed as a paradigm for animal exposure to radio frequency radiation. This paper describes the system of 21 reverberation chambers developed for the National Toxicology Program of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences for assessing potential toxic...

Reverberation Chamber Characterization Using Enhanced Backscatter Coefficient Measurements

Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Thesis directed by Professor Edward Kuester The primary focus of this thesis is to evaluate the use of the enhanced backscatter coefficient as a quantity for characterizing the spatial ...
