A study of uncertainty models in a reverberation chamber at NIST

Paper i proceeding, 2012

The reverberation chamber has become a good alternative for over-the-air (OTA) testing of small antennas. Here the uncertainty of total radiated power measurements is evaluated for a reverberation chamber at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Boulder, Colorado. A procedure for measuring the uncertainty based on the standard deviation of nine different antenna orientations in the RC has been used.
