I was hoping John would join the discussion at some point. 😊 I recall eigenvalue and eigenvector, but the term eigentone is a new one for me.

Yes, adding OATS is always healthy.😉 Is there an accepted explanation for the '3 m excess'? The published results are consistent with the field being diffuse (that term is from acoustics: I'm not sure how widely it's used in EMC circles), i.e the resultant of a large number of direct, reflected and diffracted rays. It is hardly surprising: a cuboid space is 'ideal' for producing a diffuse field above 'eigentone' wavelengths. This might create at least a 3 dB increase over 'inverse square' and maybe more. I suppose things get complicated at wavelengths that cannot be called 'short'. Has anyone tried a spherical chamber? If that's too difficult, a 'quartic sphere [(x,y,z)^4 = r^4, like a Swedish traffic circle] has noticeably rounded corners and edges, so might be close enough for a useful improvement. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only Best Wishes John Woodgate Keep trying <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> Virus-free. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> www.avg.com _____ This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
