Standard 10m Method Anechoic Chamber

Anechoic Chamber Introduction​

The standard 10m method anechoic chamber is designed for higher precision EMC testing or larger equipment, with the following typical technical parameters and design requirements:

Key Test Parameters

Test Distance 10m (distance from EUT to receiving antenna)
Frequency range Standard testing: 30 MHz ~ 40 GHz (extendable to millimeter wave bands with customized absorbers)
Low-frequency testing: Supports 150 kHz ~ 1 GHz (requires ferrite + pyramidal absorber combination)
Shielding effectiveness Low frequency (14 kHz ~ 1 MHz): ≥ 90 dB
High frequency (1 MHz ~ 40 GHz): ≥ 120 dB
Extreme bands (e.g., 100 GHz): ≥ 70 dB (requires special high-frequency absorbers)
Quiet zone Effective test area diameter/height: 3~5m (larger quiet zone suitable for big equipment testing)
Grounding Resistance Standard: IEC 60364-6 (GB/T 16895.23)
Requirement: ≤ 4Ω
Insulation Resistance Standard: IEC 60364-6 (GB/T 16895.23)
Requirement: ≤ 2 MΩ
Field uniformity ≤ ±3 dB variation within 4m×4m area (compliant with IEC 61000-4-3)
Influence Assessment of Radiated Emission Test Table Compliance Standards: CISPR 16-1-4, ANSI C63.4
Requirement: The influence assessment results of the radiated emission test table must be incorporated into the uncertainty evaluation of radiated emission measurements
Ambient noise level At least 10 dB below test limits (higher sensitivity for weak signal detection)

Structural Design Parameters

Chamber Dimensions Length: 20~25m (meets test distance and quiet zone requirements)
Width: 12~15m (ensures quiet zone integrity)
Height: 10~12m (accommodates large antenna movement and quiet zone)
Absorbing Materials Type:Ferrite tiles (30 MHz ~ 1 GHz) + carbon-based pyramidal absorbers (1 GHz ~ 40 GHz)
Low-frequency optimization: Double-layer ferrite + pyramidal composite structure (enhances low-frequency absorption)
High-frequency optimization: Absorber height 2~3m (reduces reflection, improves mmWave performance)
Shielding Structure Material: Double-layer copper or galvanized steel plates welded, with metal conductive adhesive + beryllium copper finger gaskets at joints
Shielded door: Hydraulically-driven hermetic door with integrated RF filtering and EMC sealing
Turntable and antenna system Turntable diameter: 3~5m, load capacity ≥ 3~5 tons (supports complete vehicle testing)
Antenna polarization: Fully automated multi-axis control (horizontal/vertical/circular)
Antenna tower: Adjustable height range 2~8m (meets far-field testing requirements)

Compliance Standards

EMC testing standards CISPR 25 (GB/T 18655 vehicle electronics radiated emissions)
CISPR 32/35 (GB/T 9254.1/2 multimedia equipment)
ISO 11451-2 (vehicle electronics radiated immunity)
MIL-STD-461G (GJB 151C military equipment)

Auxiliary Systems

Power supply and filtering Power: Three-phase independent filtered system (single/three-phase optional), harmonic suppression ≥ 40 dB

Fiber optic transmission: Signals penetrate chamber via fiber (avoids cable-induced interference)

Environmental control Temperature: 18~25℃ (±1℃ precision control for high-accuracy testing)
Humidity: 20%~60% RH (prevents static and absorber aging)
Safety systems IR monitoring + emergency exhaust system (prevents overheating/gas leakage)
Full-band RF radiation monitor (real-time display of EM leakage)

Typical Applications

Radiated emissions/immunity testing for complete vehicles and components
High-frequency EMC testing for aerospace equipment (e.g., avionics)
mmWave band (24~40 GHz) certification for 5G/6G communication devices
EMC testing for large industrial equipment (e.g., wind power converters, high-speed rail electronics)
