On the Measurement of Total Radiated Power in Uncalibrated Reverberation Chambers

A novel experimental procedure to measure the total radiated power of an equipment under test (EUT) placed in a reverberation chamber (RC) is presented. In contrast to the well-established method of the IEC 61000-4-21, this new procedure does not rely on information obtained during the empty chamber calibration or the calibration with the EUT in place. Thus, the method is simpler, faster, and may have a smaller uncertainty budget.
