Compared to anechoic chambers, GTEM cells are small, inexpensive and require less powerful amplifiers to achieve the same field strength. This paper presents the design, simulation and qualification of a compact GTEM cell capable of generating field strengths in excess of 600 V/m over a 20 × 20 × 15 cm test cavity, whilst being less than 2.2 × 1.3 × 1 m in total size. Specific hybrid FEM-MLFMM simulation strategies are provided to examine high power device characteristics prior to manufacturing, including accurate modelling of absorber materials. Practical notes on manufacturing and qualification are also presented.en© 2013 IEEE.
