Anechoic Chamber
The PDG Mobile EMC and Acoustic Test Chamber is a custom designed RF and acoustic test chamber, testing both at the same time. This makes it ideal for mobile phone testing.
Anechoic Chamber And Stand

The PDG chamber offers the flexibility, modularity and quality to accommodate the needs of modern development and test facilities. The design can be custom made to satisfy all your testing requirements.

The chamber is not intended to replace full NAMAS testing and approvals. It can be used during production and development as a means to identify troublesome frequencies. This limits the probability of costly re-tests.

Its mobility and size ensures total flexibility for all environments. From R&D facilities to production lines.

Dimensions when on mobile mount: 1715mm high, 940mm wide, 2320mm long and a total weight of 250kg.

How the chamber works: Customer specific cassette loading fixtures are installed at one end of the chamber whilst at the other is a standard half wave dipole antenna.

The antenna is used for monitoring the RF field strengths radiated within the chamber. External electrical connections to the product under test are RF decoupled on entry/exit maintaining the integrity of the RF screening.

Advantages:

  • Frequency range - 600 to 2GHz
  • Allows monitoring of radiated field strengths
  • Injection of RF signals
  • Small and portable, mounted on a mobile platform
  • Standard cassette loading system

Uses

For complex products with a radio element (i.e. Cordless and Cellular phones), more sophisticated tests are required. This testing is not always covered adequately by existing commercial facilities. These tests include testing of transmitted electro-magnetic interference and the identification of spurious signals.

The PDG RF screened anechoic chamber suppresses external background acoustic noise as well as RF interference. This makes it ideal for certain acoustic measurements, within the EMC free environment, essential to the cordless telecommunications business.

If required for higher accuracy power, an RF power meter and/or a spectrum analyser may be utilised to measure transmitted radiated power or EMC emissions.

The antenna can also be used to inject radiated signals into the chamber. With the addition of a proprietary test generator, the signal generator can be used to measure the receive sensitivity and selectivity or to produce RF interference to test EMC susceptibility of non-radio products.

The PDG chamber can also detect what direction radio waves are being emitted from. This is useful within the development stage, where alterations can be made to have the waves emitted in a safer direction.
