Use of a Reverberating Enclosure for Measurements of Radiated Power in the Microwave Range

A method using a reverberating enclosure for evaluating the radiation of an apparatus in the microwave range (1-18 GHz)is described. The physical performance of the reverberating enclosure has been analyzed by means of a sampling correlator. The method is particularly suitable for measurements of radiated interference from industrial, scientific, and medical (I.S.M.) equipment in terms of power, and to state their compliance with specified limits. Other important applications of the reverberating enclosure may include the measurement of average absorption coefficient of bulk or plate materials and of the behavior of the human body in an EM microwave field.
