Reverb? Reverb. Are you looking for reverbs? Wait. Okay, okay. Okay.
If this is where it has to happen, at the EMC Europe 2025 conference, this is where it has to happen, in this very workshop. We are not letting you go without learning about the well-known reverberation chambers, the statistical methods used to evaluate fields inside them, their theory and applications. How about that? This is our specialty. You know, we were good in the laboratories. But we came here, and we have prepared a workshop, but not alone. We have with us speakers from different areas of expertise regarding reverberation chambers, all from different institutes. And now, we just… are ready!
Today, our little workshop, our presentations, and our live demonstrations using a Vibrating Intrinsic Reverberation Chamber (VIRC) have a big day. A very, very big day. But so far, it is not complete, it isn’t nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because we have not shared it with you… yet. We cannot wait for you to witness the presented theory in action, and even participate in performing some of the experiments yourself. We live in an EMC world, a reverberating world, and we work with many people who specialize in this field…
We have them with us. We are just waiting for you!
Made possible with support of NEPIT.
Presentations
9:00am - 9:30am
Reverberation Chambers: Introduction, Basic Theory, Uses and Applications
Ramiro Serra
Eindhoven University of Technology
Reverberation chambers (RC) are laboratory-controlled electromagnetic environments which can generate statistically uniform fields with known and predictable probability distributions. They are widely used for different electromagnetic compatibility measurements, antenna efficiency estimation, over-the-air tests for wireless systems, and electrical characterization of materials, among other uses and applications. What are the basic principles of operation of RCs? How to model and predict the distribution of the fields in a RC? This presentation will provide some basic though fundamental answers to these questions and, hopefully, also trigger a renewed interest for these intriguing and useful chambers.
9:30am - 10:00am
Fast and Reproducible Radiated Emission Measurements using the VIRC
Frank Leferink
University of Twente - Thales, Netherlands, The
This presentation will cover multiple aspects of performing radiated emission measurements using a portable reverberation chamber a.k.a. VIRC. The theoretical background along with practical experimental procedures will be presented revealing the advantages of using such a structure for radiated emission tests in comparison to conventional test sites.
10:00am - 10:30am
EMC Standard Testing in RCs
Vignesh Rajamani
Rohde & Schwarz
The complexity of modern electronics in automobiles, necessitates meticulous EMC testing to ensure that these components can coexist without causing or experiencing disruptive interference. ISO 11452-1 specifies general test conditions, definitions, practical use, and basic principles of a Vehicle test for electrical disturbances from narrowband radiated electromagnetic energy and part 11 holds specifics for component testing in reverberation chambers. In this presentation, general reverberant test techniques will be discussed along with advantages and disadvantages of the newly proposed test techniques in the standard.
