The number of stirrer positions vs power
Testing time is valuable, so this post provides tips on optimising the number of stirrer positions in your reverberation chamber to fit your budget and test requirements. “There is a delicate balance between the number of stirrer positions and the amplifier power for a given reverberation chamber,” explains our R&D Consultant, Dimitrios Barakos. By collaborating with EMC test solution provider Rohde & Schwarz, we aim to find the most efficient solution for our clients. “
Are radar cross-section measurements for absorbers still representative? No. Following the guidelines of IEEE1128, the NLR-Arch setup measurements are more representative. With the emergence of 6G, aerospace antennas, and automotive radar systems, antenna measurements above 40GHz are becoming more common, but they are still done worldwide in the old RCS way.
We have partnered with Keysight Technologies‘ electronic design and test solutions specialists. Together with our R&D specialist, Dmitriy Penkin, they measure the new Javelin Tip Absorbers from our sister company, Dutch Microwave Absorber Solutions, which we supply in our antenna test chambers.
