No more fine black dust due to Leaking Absorbers
Most RF/MW engineers, who often work in anechoic chambers, have noticed a layer of fine black dust inside their chambers and on their clothes and hands. Some engineers even keep an additional set of work clothes for use within the anechoic chamber due to this issue.
Last week, our consultants, Hanneke Mertens – van Veen and Dimitrios Barakos, visited seven companies in Japan with our friends from Microwave Factory to help companies implement the closed-loop power control (fast stirring) reverb method as per the ISO11451-5 test standards.

The third photo was taken at the Microwave Factory office with Keishi Miwa, second from the left, and Akira Nakagawa, second from the right, who work in the Electronic Performance Development Department (R&D) at Toyota Motor Corporation.
Our Special thanks go to our friends from Microwave Factory for initiating the expedition.
In case you would like to know more about the latest updates of the new ISO 11451-5 reverberation chamber method for EMC automotive testing, see the 20-minute presentation from last year where Dimitrios Barakos outlines the basic steps required to enable full vehicle testing in a reverberation chamber.
