With the rapid advance of electronic equipments and the frequent, use of them, the electromagnetic environments including EMC or EMI problems are very complicated. The radiation of electromagnetic waves from electronic equipments has strictly been controlled by the authorities concerned from many years ago. Though it is the most proper to test EMI or EMC in the open area test site, we have used the anechoic chamber in place of the test site because of its various restrictions. To achieve the purpose, in this paper, the performances of a few anechoic chambers according to absorbing materials are analyzed for horizontal and vertical polarizations respectively. Furthermore, the calculated and the measured site attenuations in semi-anechoic chamber made with ferrite grid are compared. The obtained results are to be valuable for designing an anechoic chamber.

In this study, an effective echo-suppression and cancellation technique using reflectors in semi-anechoic chamber and time-domain measurement is proposed. By using the proposed technique, the uniformity of electric field in QZ(Quiet Zone) could be improved and the antenna test environments similar to the fully anechoic chamber could be accomplished. The performances of the proposed test environments is verified with the simulated and measured data. And it is demonstrated that this test environment is possible to use the measuring the radiational characteristics of a small antenna in VHF band.

These anti-jamming GPS systems are verified using large anechoic chamber or field-test until now. When using a large anechoic chamber, Independent verification from external enviroments like noise is an advantage but high cost and availability of chamber are disadvantages. And in case of field test, verification under real propagation enviroment is an advantage but security problem of military equipments and problem of making same test condition are disadvantages. This paper presents an newly developed anti-jamming GPS test system. This test system mainly consists of small anechoic chamber, jamming divider, jamming signal generator and satellite simulator. The small anechoic chamber is installed many jamming antennas to transmit multi jamming signals and the jamming divider is newly developed to control multi jamming signals. According to self performance test and combined test with Anti-jamming GPS receiver, we verified our system's reliability.

Because of the result of a large use of electronic equipments, the occupation density of microwave frequency band is highly increased, and electromagnetic environment is getting more seriously bad. It is sometimes reported that electronic machines are not normally operated on account of the influence of undesired electromagnetic wave, which often gives fatal blow to even human life and thus becomes serious social problems. OATS(Open Area Test Site) is principally used to measure EMI or examine elelctromagnetic emission. Because of various restrictions we often build semi-anechoic chamber which has the function of OATS to measure EMI or EMS other than OATS. If the difference of the site attenuation between semi-anechoic chamber and OATS is within ${\pm}3dB$, the semi-anechoic chamber is recognized as adequate facility to measure EMI or EMS. Accordingly authors evaluate and analyze site attenuation due to absorbent materials, polarization, mutual coupling effects, etc. The calculated and the measured site attenuation in semi-anechoic chamber are compared. As a result good agreement is obtained.

The performance of a fully anechoic chamber (FAC) for radiated emission (RE) measurements has been evaluated using the normalized site attenuation (NSA). To do this, the antenna factor (AF) of a set consisting of nearly identical antennas has been calibrated at an open area test site (OATS). Appropriate correlation factor (CF) between the chamber and the OATS has been calculated. Results show that the performance of the chamber is fairly good with respect to the ANSI-limit except 41~66 MHz far vertical polarization and near 900 MHz for horizontal polarization.

Due to the high cost of constructing anechoic chamber, the multi-usage of a chamber in various applications is very effective in terms of cost as well as space. In this paper, we describe an anechoic chamber currently used at SK Telecom in Korea. This is designed for the measurements of both far/near field antenna and EMC/EMI in the identical chamber. This anechoic chamber and measurement system support antenna test in the frequency range of 150 MHz to 40 GHz and meet the requirement of ANSI C63.4 and CISPR 16.1 for EMC/EMI.

Recently, automobile industries have developed ADAS, smart cars, connected cars, automated driving systems, which use a variety of sensor systems - ultrasonics, cameras, lidars and radars - and communication systems. It is necessary to examine the electromagnetic immunity of vehicles equipped with those systems. The electromagnetic immunity tests are carried out in an electromagnetic semi anechoic chamber, which is cut off from the outside. It is difficult to create test environments in which the radar sensor systems of vehicles work properly in the test chamber. In this study, test jigs were designed and tested and as a result they are shown to be effective to create test environments for electromagnetic immunity tests of vehicles equipped with radar sensors. We also proposed additional safety standards for immunity tests of vehicles with radar systems that currently do not exist.

Recently, automobile industries have developed ADAS, smart cars, connected cars, automated driving systems, which use a variety of sensor systems - ultrasonics, cameras, lidars and radars - and communication systems. It is necessary to examine the electromagnetic immunity of vehicles equipped with the sensor systems due to the fact that the normal operation of those systems is very important to the safety of the vehicles. The electromagnetic immunity tests are carried out in an electromagnetic semi anechoic chamber, which is cut off from the outside. It is difficult to create test environments in which the camera sensor systems of vehicles work properly in the test chamber.

Recently, automobile industries have developed ADAS, smart cars, connected cars, automated driving systems, which communicate with outsides of a vehicle not only in uni-directional way but also in bi-directional way. It is necessary to examine the electromagnetic immunity of vehicles equipped with those communication systems. The electromagnetic immunity tests are carried out in an electromagnetic semi anechoic chamber, which is cut off from the outside electromagnetically. In this study, additional test environments were designed and tested and as a result they are shown to be effective to create test environments in an experimental chamber for electromagnetic immunity tests of vehicles equipped with communication systems.

To construct an anechoic chamber for EMI test satisfying some international standards, it has been recognized that the absorption characteristics of the EM wave absorber must have more than 20 dB over the frequency band from 30 MHz to 18 GHz. In this paper, an EM wave absorber with super wide-band frequency characteristics was proposed and designed in order to satisfy the above requirements by using the EMCM[1]. As a result, the proposed absorber has absorption characteristics more than 20 dB over the frequency band from 30 MHz to more than 20 GHz.
