Abstract
 This talk discusses the efficiency of reverberation chambers to perform emissions and
immunity tests. The statistically isotropic, randomly polarized, and uniform
electromagnetic environment present inside a well stirred reverberation chamber enables
a robust, all aspect angle test. The controllable uncertainty of a reverberation chamber
test method provides the test engineer options to design a test depending on whether the
test is a simple product qualification test or a mission critical system test.
 Biography
———
Dr. Vignesh Rajamani received his Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on
Statistical Electromagnetics at Oklahoma State University in 2010. He obtained his M.S.
degree in electrical engineering with emphasis on computational Electromagnetics from
Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, in 2004 and B.E. degree in Electronics and
Communication engineering from the University of Madras, Chennai, India, in 2002.
From 2003-2010, he worked as a Research Assistant at the REFTAS Lab, Oklahoma State
University. His research focuses on statistical electromagnetics, antenna engineering,
RFID, reverberation chamber operations, validation, and optimization techniques. He was
also involved in building the reverberation chamber at Oklahoma State University and
his current research focuses estimating probability of failure of electronic systems
due to electromagnetic interference and compatibility.
He is an active member of IEEE EMC Society and involved with several technical committees
and educational activities through EMC Society and Oklahoma State University. He is a
member of Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Kappa Phi and Golden Key and a Senior member of IEEE. He is
also one of the distinguished lecturers for the IEEE EMC Society for term 2013-2014.
Dr. Vignesh Rajamani is the instructor of record for the Design of Engineering Systems
Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Design course and Introduction to Electrical
Science – Sophomore level electric circuits class at Oklahoma State University
