Abstract:

The reverb chamber is gaining widespread acceptance in the EMC community as a viable tool for performing immunity tests. The latest revisions of the GM and Ford automotive standards support the use of Reverb Chambers for immunity testing of components and subassemblies. The main advantage over anechoic chambers is that most of energy fed into a Reverb Chamber can be used to develop field as opposed to anechoic chambers where, depending upon the transmit antenna pattern, more than 50% of the transmit power can be dissipated in the absorber lining. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate the efficiency and repeatability of performing immunity tests in a reverb chamber, while suggesting a method for performing the thresholding of test failures.
