VIRTUAL REALITY FOR REVERBERATION CHAMBER E FIELD SIMULATION

Abstract

Over the past several years, reverberation chambers have grown in popularity for radiated immunity testing. Firstly, this paper introduces the statistical nature of a reverberation chamber. Then, methodology and procedure of using Ansoft HFSS to simulate the electric field distribution in a reverberation chamber are given. Finally, details of a software tool developed for visualization of the electric field distribution in the reverberation chamber are given. This software tool is written in OpenGL and C++ languages. It presents the virtual reality of pattern change of E field distribution in the visualization facility, CAVE. Pictures of scene of simulation in CAVE are shown.
