Abstract :
An anechoic chamber is considered good when there is no signal reflection inside the chamber and also when there is no incoming signal from outside the chamber. The key element inside an anechoic chamber is the absorbing material. The evaluations of mini anechoic chamber fitted with coated absorbers were carried out by analyzing the absorption performance. The study includes the comparison of measurement with and without coated absorbers. The evaluations were carried out using 500 MHz, 2 GHz and 10GHz frequencies. The most significant result shows an absorption level of up to approximately 75% when the chamber was fitted with coated absorbers for 10 GHz.
