Abstract :
Remodeling a 10-meter semi-anechoic chamber is not necessarily a simple matter of removing the old style polyurethane pyramidal cones and attaching new ferrite and polystyrene (or polyurethane) based absorbing material. This paper describes the key experiences encountered during a recent refurbishment of a 10-meter semi-anechoic chamber. The construction issues encountered, various chamber upgrades and the final normalized site attenuation (NSA) chamber performance are discussed herein.
