Abstract:
A method and system for processing finite frequency domain data to which a time gating process is to be applied to improve performance of signal processing equipment and to facilitate complex time gating while suppressing edge effects. According to one aspect, a method for improved processing of a finite frequency signal by signal processing equipment to suppress edge effects arising from a time gating process is provided. The method includes padding the finite frequency signal outside a frequency range with samples derived from an extrapolation process to produce an extended signal having samples inside and outside the frequency range of the finite signal. The method further includes applying a time gating process to the extended signal to exclude signals occurring outside a time interval and to produce a time gated signal with suppressed edge effects.

Methods, tests systems and computers for controlling power delivered to a test volume are provided. According to one aspect, an electromagnetic test system has at least one operational path having a channel emulator output, an amplifier, an attenuator and an antenna. A method includes, for a given desired output power level, C, setting a channel emulator output power to a power level B, and setting the attenuator to a setting A, such that C is a function of B and A. In such embodiments, the attenuation A may be calculated based on an upper limit output power of the channel emulator and the desired output power C.

An acoustic chamber with low frequency outer wall transmissivity is provided. According to one aspect, an acoustic chamber has an inner wall encompassing an interior of the acoustic chamber and configured to allow acoustic energy to penetrate the inner wall. The acoustic chamber also has an outer wall configured to allow low frequency acoustic energy that penetrates the inner wall to penetrate the outer wall and leave the acoustic chamber.
Abstract:
The invention provides a door system which has a door leaf with a first horizontally disposed edge and a second horizontally disposed edge inferior to the first horizontally disposed edge. The door system also includes a rod-less cylinder in communication with the first horizontally disposed edge and a cam surface formed with the second horizontally disposed edge. The cam surface limits the door to a single plane of movement relative to an opening of an enclosure defining a door jamb.
Abstract:
A method and system for selectively varying the performance of a test chamber are disclosed. According to one aspect, the performance is affected by a variable absorbing structure of the test chamber. The absorbing structure enables selective exposure of absorbing material to achieve a specific performance.

Abstract:
A radio frequency shield which reversibly transects an electromagnetic frequency enclosure is provided. The shield includes first a number of panels attached to a first surface of the enclosure. The panels are adapted to move through a first arc relative to the first surface. Shield also includes a first panel from the number of panels having a first leading edge capable of transecting the first arc. The shield further includes a second number of panels attached to a second surface of the enclosure. The second set of panels is adapted to move through an arc relative to the second surface of the enclosure. Also a second panel from said second set of panels has a second leading edge capable of transecting the second arc so as to oppose the first leading edge. Finally, the shield includes a means for reversibly attaching the first leading edge to the second leading edge while simultaneously establishing electrical communication between the first and second plurality of panels.
Abstract:
A method, system and apparatus for compensating for non-ideal isotropic behavior of a field probe are disclosed. A method includes, during a calibration procedure, for each of a plurality of positions of the field probe relative to a source, each position denoted by a set of angles (θ,ϕ), performing the following steps: measuring a field by the sensors of the probe, storing the measurements and the set of angles (θ,ϕ) for each measurement, computing a correction factor for the set of angles (θ,ϕ) based on the measurement, and storing the correction factors. During a measurement procedure, each sensor measures a component of the field. A set of angles is determined based on the sensor measurements, and a correction factor is determined based on the set of angles. The correction factor may then be multiplied by the sensor measurements to obtain the corrected field measurements.
Abstract:
An ADA compliant shielded door is disclosed. According to one aspect, a door is configured to create a radio frequency (RF) seal when the door is sealed so that RF energy is restricting from passing through a gap between an outer periphery of the door and a door frame when the door is sealed. The door includes: at least one knife edge along at least part of the outer periphery of the door, each knife edge configured to project into a channel of a door frame in a direction parallel to a face of the door when the door is sealed. The door also includes at least one contact element along a length of a knife edge, the at least one contact element being configured to make electrical contact with a channel wall of a channel of the door frame when the knife edge projects into the channel.
