Design and Construction of a Small Reverberation Chamber
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design of a small reverberation chamber. The lower usable frequency of the reverberation chamber designed in this paper is 2.3 GHz. The upper usable frequency depends on the conductivity of the walls and it is at least 18 GHz. The introduction gives basic information and usage of the reverberation chamber, while the theory is explained in the next section. Unlike other facilities used in the testing of electromagnetic compatibility, the reverberation chamber works with many higher order modes. While other chambers or cells try to avoid the appearance of higher order modes, which tend to destroy a uniform electromagnetic field, the reverberation chamber takes full advantage thereof, creating a statistically homogenous electromagnetic field. After a theoretical overview, there follows the design for building the reverberation chamber, as well as the method of its control, especially the movement of mode stirrers necessary for the reverberation chamber to operate. The lower usable frequency of the chamber depends on the size. We have designed the chamber to be used at 2.3 GHz and above, which resulted in a relatively small size of the chamber (only 0.0174 m3). The designed reverberation chamber was tested and the results validated the design.

Introduction: The previous studies have used fibrous absorbents usually in the form of cone-shaped wedges for making anechoic and semi-anechoic chambers which their design and construction have been costly and difficult. The present study aimed to design a semi-anechoic chamber, using rectangular fibrous absorbents and also perform acoustic analysis for it. . Material and Method: In the presen...
متن کاملDesign and construction of fruit solar drier for rural settlements
This research focuses on the need for preserving fruits in rural areas to prevent waste. The solar drier is made of vital chambers i.e. the concentrator chamber (that harvests the solar irradiance), the transport pipe (that transports the heat generated by convection) and hanger chamber (where the fruits are placed). The temperature within the concentrator chamber and hanger chamber was monitor...
متن کاملOverview of Antenna and Over The Air (OTA) Measurements in Reverberation Chambers
Antennas have traditionally been measured in anechoic chambers. An anechoic chamber is a suitable and necessary reference environment to measure large antennas that are used in a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) environment, but it is an unsuitable environment to measure devices with small antennas. Devices with small antennas are normally used in a Non-LOS environment, which is typically characterised by a...
متن کاملOptimization of Stirrer with Various Param- Eters in Reverberation Chamber
Reverberation chambers are widely used in electromagnetic compatibility test facilities because they provide a large working volume and are cheaper than other types of test facilities. In addition, they provide a statistically uniform field and generate a high maximum electric field within a relatively large volume. The volume of the cavity, the structure of the stirrer, and high tested frequen...
