All, We've been having a spirited internal discussion on the use of or need to have anterooms when testing for RF susceptibility and emissions. It seems like chamber manufacturers are moving away from them, and some engineers I've talked to also aren't seeing the need for their use. We recently built a lab in Florida, and they don't have any anterooms.
At my lab, we have customers that have to run cable through the bulkhead to monitor their equipment. We've seen radio, television, and other signals brought straight into the chamber, which was eliminated by closing the anteroom door. So I'm asking - what are your experiences? How do you eliminate potential noise sources? Is everyone just moving to using fiber, including manufacturers coming to commercial labs for testing? Are there any standards, technical reports, or white papers I should read?
