Amplifier considerations for reverberation chamber immunity testing
Reverberation chambers are gaining a lot of attention in the EMC community because of their ability to conduct immersive stress testing of modules, sub-systems and physically large EUTs such as satellites and vehicles in a very repeatable and energy efficient way. Amplifiers have a critical role in the test reverberation chamber test system performance, its capabilites and the quality of the results, so it's important to understand the implications of selecting the correct instrument for your application. Join this tech talk to learn how they operate and what benefits they can address your EMC testing challenges.
