Reverberation chamber design can be relatively straight forward. The device(s) under test and/or research helps to define the anechoic volume. The low frequency of interest defines the wedge depth. There are a multitude of other factors that can trip up the project’s success. These include space planning, the site survey, sound isolation, HVAC, access, vibration, building systems, and more. A brief tour of the who what when where why and how, with examples from some projects, is presented.
