Abstract

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.
