The paper focuses on the reverberation chamber method for the shielding properties evaluation of equipment-level enclosures. The enclosure under test is numerically modeled by an in-house finite-difference time-domain code that is able to predict the field inside the enclosure and the voltage captured by the probe placed inside it. The chamber fields have been modeled by applying the plane-wave superposition. The code is validated by measurements in our reverberation chamber. Subsequently, the effect of probe positioning and length on the induced voltage is analyzed. Finally, the enclosure shielding effectiveness is evaluated by applying two different definitions, and a statistical analysis is carried out, thus allowing an estimation of the measurement uncertainty.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the reverberation chamber method for the shielding properties evaluation of equipment-level enclosures. The enclosure under test is numerically modeled by an in-house finite-difference time-domain code that is able to predict the field inside the enclosure and the voltage captured by the probe placed inside it. The chamber fields have been modeled by applying the plane-wave superposition. The code is validated by measurements in our reverberation chamber. Subsequently, the effect of probe positioning and length on the induced voltage is analyzed. Finally, the enclosure shielding effectiveness is evaluated by applying two different definitions, and a statistical analysis is carried out, thus allowing an estimation of the measurement uncertainty.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
