peer agreement (net): +3| far Fully Anechoic Room Explanation: I suggest this, among the numerous possible meanings of FAR, because it is associated with EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing. "Examining the Use of Fully Anechoic Rooms for Full-Compliance EMC Testing [...] A consortium of eight European laboratories took up the challange of proving such equivalency. Sponsored by the European Commission over a two-year period, the FAR (fully anechoic room) project, which began in February 1997, was piloted by NPL." http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/2000/mayjune/alexander.html "Radiated-emissions compliance testing for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is usually accompanied by high measurement uncertainties. Measurements were made at NPL in a 9 × 6 × 6-m fully anechoic room (FAR) and in a MEB-1750 gigahertz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cell." http://www.ce-mag.com/archive/06/07/alexander.htm "Anechoic RF chamber used for EMC testing (radiated emissions and immunity). The furniture has to be made of wood or plastic, and not metal" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_compatibility -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2012-06-11 11:53:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just noticed that DLyons has suggested this possibility. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2012-06-11 11:55:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Anechoic" means "echo-free". A fully anechoic room is one in which no sound or electromagnetic waves are reflected at all. "An anechoic chamber (an-echoic meaning non-echoing or echo-free) is a room designed to stop reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_chamber#Radio-frequenc... |
