Reverberation chamber have become a common tool in radiated susceptibility and emission testing of electronic equipment. In a reverberation chamber, internal electromagnetic fields are mixed by metallic stirrer. Due to elimination of Polarization characteristic in reverberation chamber, electromagnetic wave reached to EUT all aspect angle. Hence, Field distribution in overmode reverberation chamber can be presented by chi-square distribution. Field uniformity in reverberation chamber have to satisfy standard deviation below 3dB and is influenced by mechanical stirrer. This paper investigates relationship between change of stirrer parameter and field uniformity in reverberation chamber.

The walls of modern train cars are required to have higher transmission loss since modern train have had high speed and light weight. The method based on Reverberation Chamber like KS F 2808 could be used to measure transmission loss. However, this method has difficulty in that constrained Standard of it requires extremely large facilities. Recently, the method based on Scale Reverberation Chamber is used as an alternative to Reverberation Chamber. The method of Scale Reverberation Chamber is known to be small and economical but it provides standing wave that directly influences measurement error. Therefore, this research is focus on predicting standing waves based on method of FFM and reducing measurement error by changing shape of chamber.

In this paper, simulation results of an electromagnetic field and mode distributions in a cylindrical reverberation chamber were presented. Reverberation chamber is an alternative test facility for a semi anechoic chamber, which is widely used for the analysis and measurement of electromagnetic interference and immunity tests. The method of computing the number of modes in a cylindrical reverberation chamber was presented and the number of modes in a cylindrical reverberation chamber with the same volume was compared with the different ratio of radius to height. The FDTD method was used to produce field characteristics inside of rectangular, right-angled isosceles triangular, and cylinder type reverberation chambers with the same test volume.

A vibration isolation system fur a large reverberation chamber (1,228㎥, 1,000ton) has been installed. The reverberation chamber generates loud noise and induces high level of vibration to perform spacecraft acoustic environmental tests. The isolation system prevents vibration transfer from the chamber to enclosure buildings. This paper describes logical design process and commissioning experiments of the system. Design criteria have been induced from rigid body model of the chamber. Finite element model has been employed to select the characteristics of rubber pads. A total of 21 rubber pads have been installed between the chamber and supporting pedestals. A sand bag of 800kg was dropped on the chamber floor to measure the natural frequency of the isolation system. Absolute transmissibility has been measured while generating 145㏈ in the chamber. The natural frequency of the chamber is 10.5㎐, which is 80% of estimated value. Overall transmissibility at working frequency range (25㎐-10,000㎐) is less than -6㏈.

This paper presents the improvement of the field uniformity in a reverberation chamber which can be substitute an anechoic chamber for the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and immunity test. Nowadays, there are many EMI issues due to the increasing use of wireless local area network (LAN), digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), and mobile internet. With this reason, this paper studied the field characteristics in a reverberation chamber for 2.3 GHz band. In this paper, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to analyze the field characteristics in a reverberation chamber. To improve the field uniformity in the reverberation chamber, this paper adopted a 2D cubical residue diffuser (CRD) with varying the disposition and number of CRD. For each case, the tolerance and standard deviation of the electric field strength are evaluated. In comparison with the reverberation chamber without any CRD, the reverberation chamber with two CRDs showed improved results; 1.98 dB improvement in standard deviation and 3.6 dB improvement in tolerance.

This paper analyzes optimal stirrer parameter to improve field uniformity in a mode-stirred reverberation chamber. Stirrer parameter is varied about stirrer height and stirrer angle. Also we analyze quality factor, number of excited modes and stirrer efficiency that affect field uniformity. The results show good performance as higher as stirrer height. Isotropic field distribution is formed at $45^{\circ}$ stirrer angle. When stirrer angle varies, scattering characteristic of incident wave are changed. So electric field distribution in a mode-stirred reverberation chamber is also changed. Therefore, it affect field uniformity. The results expect to help that designs stirrer for get better field uniformity. Immunity test performed designed mode-stirred reverberation chamber for semiconductor that categorized by technology. Test result shows that good recurrence compared wave-guide immunity test.

The method to reduce interior noise of train was being studied. To improve transmission loss of train is one of the best way to reduce interior noise. But, the estimate to transmission loss requires lots of the commercial costs. In this study, the method to estimate transmission loss of high speed train is proposed using a scale reverberation chamber. The result shows that a transmission loss estimated using small scale reverberation is similar to that using huge reverberation chamber. The transmission loss estimated based on small scale reverberation chamber can be optimal with respect to the commercial coasts.

The field uniformity inside the reverberation chamber has been improved using sets of quadratic residue diffuser (QRD). The electromagnetic field inside the reverberation chamber with the dimension of $100{\times}80{\times}80cm$ has been analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method. The calculated fields in a $40{\times}30{\times}30cm$ test volume have been sampled to obtain a standard deviation and field uniformity. Results show that the standard deviation of the calculated field and uniformity have been improved by varying angles and orientation of the inclined surfaces of the QRDs installed inside the reverberation chamber.

In this paper, electric fields in electromagnetic reverberation chambers, which are used as a substitute facility for EM-free anechoic chambers, are analyzed. This paper focused on the 4-5 GHz band, which is expected to adversely affect equipment. To analyze the field uniformity inside the electromagnetic reverberation chamber, electric field strengths are sampled and finite-difference time-domain method was used for numerical analysis. Moreover, Quadratic residue diffuser was used to improve the characteristics of the electromagnetic reverberation chamber and the uniformity of the internal field strength. Standard deviation, tolerance characteristics, and partiality characteristics were compared while varying the aiming point of transmission antenna.

A vibration isolation system for a large reverberation chamber (1,228 $m^3$ and 1,000 ton) has been installed and verified. The reverberation chamber generates loud noise and induces high level of vibration while performing spacecraft acoustic reliability tests. The isolation system prevents vibration transfer from the chamber to the enclosure buildings. This paper describes design process and commissioning experiments of the system. Design criteria have been derived from rigid body model of the chamber. The stiffness of neoprene pads has been selected by employing finite element analysis of the reverberant chamber and isolation system. A total of 21 neoprene pads have been installed between the chamber and supporting Pedestals. A sand bag of 800kg was dropped on the chamber floor to measure the natural frequency of the isolation system. While 136.9 dB noise is generated in the chamber, absolute transmissibility of the isolation system has been measured. The measured natural frequency of the chamber is 10.2Hz, which is 80% of the predicted value. Overall transmissibility at working frequency range (25∼10.000 Hz) is less than -12.4 dB.
