Session Abstract

Over the last few years, the interest in vibrating intrinsic reverberation chambers (the so-called VIRCs) among both industrial and academic communities has been growing rapidly. These low-cost and movable chambers are increasingly perceived as a reverberation chamber offering different possibilities and potential compared to 'traditional' parallelepipedic ones, rather than merely another kind of reverberation chamber.

Therefore, the time has come this year in Paris for the VIRC to stand on their own and organize the first workshop dedicated solely to this topic during an EMC Europe symposium!

This half-day workshop will bring together:

-       A presentation on the genesis and history of VIRC by its inventor, Mr. Frank Leferink

-       Technical presentations showcasing recent advances in VIRC

-       Hands-on, demo, and interactive sessions with a small VIRC prototype


Presentations
2:20pm - 2:50pm

From a simple idea (or was it a mistake: you will hear the true story at the workshop), to many applications of the VIRC
