Description
The VRC Reverb Tent Chamber is an innovative electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test facility that combines flexibility, cost-efficiency, and performance. Unlike rigid reverberation chambers, the VRC is built using a special metalized flexible fabric assembled into a tent-like cavity. This design provides a periodic electromagnetic environment that is randomly polarized, isotropic, and spatially uniform—ideal for both immunity and emission testing.
By vibrating the walls of the tent at frequencies between 5 and 20 Hz, the chamber achieves a reverberation effect that enhances field uniformity. This process results in higher field-to-input power ratios, faster testing cycles, and greater repeatability compared to anechoic or TEM cell methods. The VRC also supports large devices under test (DUT), overcoming space limitations that traditional setups often face.
Compliant with international standards such as IEC 61000-4-21, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA/DO-160, the VRC offers unmatched versatility for industries including automotive, avionics, military, space, wireless, and telecommunications. Its modular construction makes it easy to assemble and disassemble within hours, enabling on-site testing at customer facilities.
Multiple model sizes are available to match testing needs, and customization options ensure compatibility with unique applications. Accessories such as antennas, shielded doors, tripods, and control rooms further expand testing capabilities.
The VRC Reverb Tent Chamber is a smart investment for labs seeking reliable, repeatable EMC testing with lower costs, quick setup, and strong compliance credentials.
