Thank you to all who responded with some very practical hints and tips. As recommended by several people I'm keeping the AP outside of the chamber and putting some SMA connectors through the bulkhead to attach the antennas.
Many thanks James ________________________________ From: Pawson, James [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 10 January 2012 16:13 To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Radiated Emissions Testing of Intentional Radiators - Practicalities? Hello list members, We are wanting to test one of our products, which contains a WiFi interface, in our anechoic chamber. To ensure the WiFi is active we would need to set up antennae in the anechoic chamber itself - the irony of introducing radio into a radio-quiet environment is not lost on me. I'm concerned about separating out the emissions from the WiFi access point and the emissions of the equipment under test. Does anyone have any practical pointers / hints / tips / experience / pitfalls of doing this?
