Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to an electromagnetically anechoic chamber for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) tests of electronic devices. The floor, ceiling and side wall of the anechoic chamber have panels of electromagnetic wave absorber having many ferrite tiles, and shield members comprising double layered shield members of copper sheets and iron sheets for absorbing and reflecting the foreign electromagnetic wave.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An electromagnetically anechoic chamber for EMC testing comprising: double shield panels for defining said chamber, said double shield panels each comprising a first panel and a second panel adjacent to said first panel with a space therebetween, each of said first panel and said second panel having an electromagnetic shield disposed thereon, and electromagnetic wave absorber panel means inside of said double shield panels for absorbing electromagnetic waves, said electromagnetic wave absorber panel means comprising: a plurality of ferrite tiles arranged as a surface of said electromagnetic wave absorber panel means, and aluminum foil covering said ferrite tiles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An electromagnetically anechoic chamber for EMC testing comprising: double shield panels for defining said chamber, said double shield panels each comprising a first panel and a second panel adjacent to said first panel with a space therebetween, each of said first panel and said second panel having an electromagnetic shield disposed thereon, and electromagnetic wave absorber panel means inside of said double shield panels for absorbing electromagnetic waves, said electromagnetic wave absorber panel means comprising: a plurality of ferrite tiles arranged as a surface of said electromagnetic wave absorber panel means, and aluminum foil covering said ferrite tiles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
68 words
An electromagnetically anechoic chamber for EMC testing as in claim 1, wherein said electromagnetic wave absorber panel means have sections on opposite sides and at a same end of said chamber which are angled with reference to said double shield panels, said angled sections resulting in an inside of said chamber having width at said same end smaller than said width in a middle portion of said chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
An electromagnetically anechoic chamber for EMC testing as in claim 1, further comprising: a measuring room disposed adjacent to said anechoic chamber said measuring room being shielded from said chamber, and an electromagnetically shielded observation window disposed in a wall separating said anechoic chamber and said measuring room.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
An electromagnetically anechoic chamber for EMC testing as in claim 1, said double shield panels comprising: copper sheets secured to a side of said first panel, and irons sheets secured to a side of said second panel.
