 REVERBERATION CHAMBER THEORY & eXPERIMENT WORKSHOP
 
 
 

Several standards including MIL-STD 461E, RTCA DO, IEC 61000-21, and SAE  J551-J113 permit the use of reverberation chambers for EMC certification testing. This course is designed for engineers and technicians who will be involved in radiated emission or immunity testing of commercial or military systems using reverberation chambers. The course will also be valuable to personnel  in evaluating the use of reverberation chambers as a complement to or replacement for other types of radiated test facilities. 

The course consists of a theory portion covering the statistical nature of reverberation chamber testing, characterization of the EM test conditions, and the tradeoff between uncertainty in test results and test time. In groups, participants will work various problems associated with the operation of reverberation chambers and will perform analyses of experimental data and compare results with theoretical predictions. Participants will also develop a test plan for a reverberation chamber immunity test.

Extensive course notes and a reference list are provided.
 

 

Dates: Mar. 31 - Apr. 04, 2008
Location: OSU-Stillwater, OK
Time: 8:00AM- 5:00PM

Fee: $2500
        $2750 if registered  after Feb. 29, 2008

4.0 CEUs/40 PDHs

 

The course also consists of an experimental portion including demonstrations, test setups and instrumentation, statistical sampling techniques mechanical tuner operation and frequency sweeps), and chamber characterization and calibration measurements.

The experiments and demonstrations are conducted in a 2.5 x 4 x 7 feet reverberation chamber. The chamber, constructed in-house for less than $1000, indicates the flexibility of the reverberation chamber concept. The chamber demonstrates the statistical equivalence of the electromagnetic environment in all conductive cavities independent of size and construction materials.

While the experimental portion includes reverberation chamber demonstrations it consists primarily of a series of hands-on experiments conducted in 4 to 5 person groups. Lab notes provide a guide for the experiments and along with the data files generated provide a permanent record of the training.

The notes format for the experimentation portion of the workshop includes the objective, a description of the experiment, instrumentation, test setup, procedures, and room for specific measurements, analyses, results, and conclusions.

Following each experiment, groups will gain practice in analyzing the validity of the data in relationship to meeting expected objectives. The course involves numerous calculations and analysis - and both a scientific calculator and laptop are required.

The course length is 5 days (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Monday - Thursday; 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Friday). This is an intensive course and after-hours work on exercises is expected. To gain full benefit from the course, please plan to attend the entire course through 3:00 PM on Friday.

CUSTOMIZED TRAINING at Your Location

A course may be tailored to meet the specific training needs of your organization, at your location, on dates desirable for you, and if desired, in conjunction with obtaining data using your reverberation facility equipment
