Abstract :
The paper describes major electromagnetic test facilities at Sandia National Laboratories; each has undergone recent upgrades. The paper discusses each facility, their uses, and upgrades pertaining to the facilities performance and diagnostic capabilities. The facilities discussed are the Sandia lightning simulator, the electromagnetic environments simulator (a large TEM cell), the mode-stirred chamber, and the anechoic chamber. Sandia´s expertise in electromagnetics also extends to theoretical analysis and modeling, which can be done in conjunction with tests or experiments.
