Measuring the Shielding Effectiveness of Small Enclosures/Cavities with a Reverberation Chamber

For various applications, there is a growing need to determine the shielding effectiveness (SE) of physically small (but electrically large) enclosures or cavities. In this paper, we present a reverberation chamber technique for measuring the SE of such enclosures. We present data from four different reverberation chamber approaches obtained from various enclosure configurations. These four different sets of measurements are used to validate the proposed approach.
