What limits the low frequency performance of an anechoic chamber?

  • A.The chamber dimensions become smaller than one wavelength across
  • B.The antenna under test cannot be positioned accurately at long wavelengths
  • C.The absorber must be a substantial fraction of a wavelength deep
  • D.The metal shielding becomes transparent at low frequencies

Answer: C

Absorber works by grading the impedance over a distance, so at long wavelengths the pyramids are electrically short and reflect much more. Ferrite tiles are added for the lowest frequencies because they absorb in a thin layer. Metal shielding improves rather than worsens at low frequency, chamber size is a separate constraint that also matters, and positioning accuracy is unaffected. A treatment whose thickness is fixed always has a lowest frequency at which it still works.
