Abstract

In this paper we present the influence of the load position, represented by a metallic cube, inside the uniform zone of a compact reverberation chamber when it is placed asymmetrically to the chamber´s wall. The measurement standard test of the uniform zone requires an empty chamber. The measurements of the chamber statistical electrical field uniformity are made accordingly the IEC61004-21 standard. Unfortunately, no guarantee of the field uniformity is assured when the equipment is positioned inside.
