Abstract :
Described below are major electromagnetic test facilities at Sandia National Laboratories; each has undergone recent upgrades. This paper discusses each facility, their uses, and upgrades pertaining to the facilities performance and diagnostic capabilities. The facilities discussed here are the Sandia Lightning Simulator, the Electromagnetic Environments Simulator, the Mode-Stirred Chamber, and Anechoic Chamber. Sandia´s expertise in electromagnetics also extends to theoretical analysis and modeling, which can be done in conjunction with tests or experiments
