In this paper the latest techniques for validation of anechoic chambers are described. The Short Dipole Site Validation Method (SDSV) is based on the use of the CISPR 16 dipole in an expanded, non-resonant frequency range. The SDSV idea is great as it combines advantages of the Site Reference method (direct comparison of two site attenuations, no antenna factors involved, quasi-swept frequency ...
