Electromagnetic Reverberation Chambers: Recent Advances and Innovative Applications

This book offers state of the art information about a novel range of applications for electromagnetic reverberation chambers.

It is written by international experts in electromagnetic theory, electromagnetic compatibility, and antenna design and measurement.For each application area a renowned researcher introduces the general concepts and then describes the recent advances in that field.

The following topics are thus systematically addressed: rapid and accurate calibration of reverberation chambers by the assessment of the well stirred condition; performance assessment of most popular stirring techniques for broadband EMC test; performance assessment of vibrating intrinsic reverberation chambers; probabilistic model about the influence of the number of stirring conditions considered during a radiated susceptibility test; over-the-air testing of wireless devices in reverberation chambers; from material absorption to dosimetry for exposure of animals in RC; characterization of antenna efficiency in reverberation chambers; characterization of antenna radiation pattern in reverberating enclosures; and radar cross section estimation in reverberation chambers.

Finally, a concluding chapter identifies and explores some of the exciting developments and open issues that represent emerging trends in reverberation chamber research.The book is aimed at advanced students and researchers in signal processing, antenna design or EMC who need to know about new applications of reverberation chambers.
