M3MSat - Testing in the anechoic chamber at the David Florida Laboratory in Ottawa.

2016-06-21 - Testing of M3MSat in the anechoic chamber at the David Florida Laboratory (DFL) in Ottawa. The room is designed to completely absorb reflections of electromagnetic waves. It is important to test the antenna in a "signal-free" location to avoid interference or false results and simulate the open space environment. The shape of the blue cones is adapted to trap and absorb electromagnetic waves spanning a broad range of frequencies. (Credit: Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC))
