Summary

Dedicated to reverberation chambers, this book presents the physical principles of these test systems in a very progressive manner. The detailed panorama of parameters governing their operations are illustrated with various applications, such as radiated immunity, emissivity, and shielding efficiency experiments. In addition, the reader is provided with some elements of electromagnetic theory as well as statistics. These elements highlight the basic operational rules of reverberation chambers, including calibration procedures. The situation of reverberation chamber in regards to other test systems (such as TEM cells and anechoic chambers) is also discussed.
