An anechoic chamber is a shielded room that has radio-wave absorbing material applied to the walls, ceiling, and floor. The absorbers on the inside surfaces are often pyramidal shape. The tapered structure of the pyramids transitions the radio waves from the air to the lossy carbon employed in the pyramids with minimal wave reflection. The RF absorbers should absorb all of the incident electromagnetic energy and convert it to heat.

The Vector network analyzer or VNA is an important test instrument that are used in a wide range of RF and high frequency applications. In design applications, simulations are used to accelerate time-to-market by reducing physical prototype iterations. VNAs are used to validate these design simulations. In manufacturing applications, RF components or devices are assembled and tested based on a certain set of specifications. VNAs are used to quickly and accurately validate the performance of these RF components and devices. The ShockLine MS46122B series consists of three PC-controlled, compact vector network analyzers (VNAs) with frequency ranges from 1 MHz to 20 GHz.
