Electromagnetic Anechoic Chambers

A practical one-volume guide to anechoic chamber designs for
electromagnetic measurements

The electromagnetic anechoic chamber has been with us since it was
invented at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, in the
early 1950s. Just about every major aerospace company has large
numbers of them located throughout the United States and the world.
Now, because of the stringent electromagnetic interference
requirements that must be considered in the development of all new
electronic products, these facilities are appearing in the
automotive, telecommunications, aerospace, computer, and other
industries.

This handbook provides the designer/procurer of electromagnetic
chambers with a single source of practical information on the full
range of anechoic chamber designs. It reviews the current state of
the art in indoor electromagnetic testing facilities and their
design and specifications. You'll find information on a large
variety of anechoic chambers used for a broad range of
electromagnetic measurements that are commonly conducted in indoor
test facilities as well as details on:

* Measurement theory to support the chamber design procedures
provided in each of the specific chamber designs

* Test facilities for the measurement of antennas, scattering
(RCS), and electromagnetic compatibility

* An extensive set of photographs, including a special color
section highlighting some of the more interesting anechoic test
facilities that have been built to solve various measurement
problems

* Design/procurement checklists
