Digital beamform simulation in anechoic chamber

Optimization an Anechoic Chamber with Ray-tracing and Genetic Algorithms

Anechoic chambers are used for both emission and immunity testing but the ferrite tiles used to line the inside of the chamber are extremely expensive. This paper describes a method of reducing the number of tiles, whilst ensuring a reliable test environment. In this paper, the ray-tracing method for waves propagation is used for evaluation of the reflectivity level of an anechoic chamber, and ...

Experimental Anechoic Chamber Measurements of a Target near an Interface

The backscattered field of an illuminated sphere with diameter ∅ = 30.5 cm above a perfect conducting plate is measured in an anechoic chamber at different heights for a varying incidence angle φ in the range 5◦ to 75◦. A high frequency field λ ∅ is transmitted, so that two significant transitions from lit to shadow regions are given over the entire incidence angle range for the considered ray ...

Modeling of Anechoic Chamber Using a Beam-tracing Technique

Building an anechoic chamber involves a substantial investment both financially and in physical space. Hence, there is much interest in trying to reduce the required investment while still maintaining adequate performance. The performance of an anechoic chamber depends on the type, size, and array configuration of the absorber elements as well as the geometry of the screened room on which the i...

Anechoic vs. Semi Anechoic Rooms

Ultrasonic anechoic chamber qualification: accounting for atmospheric absorption and transducer directivity.

Qualifying an anechoic chamber for frequencies that extend into the ultrasonic range is necessary for research work involving airborne ultrasonic sound. The ANSI S12.55/ISO 3745 standard which covers anechoic chamber qualification does not extend into the ultrasonic frequency range, nor have issues pertinent to this frequency range been fully discussed in the literature. An increasing number of...
