Abstract :
This paper shows a novel method of measuring the immunity of electronic devices inside reverberation chambers. Rather than using mode stirring or mode tuning with a constant power input into the chamber, we will present a method based on variable power that protects the DUT against accidental damage and also gives more information about the hardness of the DUT than the traditional methods.
