Acoustic and Electromagnetic Reverberation Chambers: Similarities and Differences

Published

Author(s)

Perry F. Wilson

Abstract

Acoustic reverberation chambers predate electromagnetic (EM) reverberation chambers. EM reverberation chamber researchers occasionally make reference to acoustic equivalents when describing test methods and results. However, most EM reverberation chamber users are not familiar with acoustics and may not be aware of similarities and differences. This paper presents a sampling of results for acoustic and EM reverberation chambers, how they relate, and explore whether insights from acoustics can help inform EM reverberation chamber use.
