Experiment 2 was completed at the University of Nevada in Reno in the university’s anechoic chamber. This is a specialized chamber that is isolated from all radio frequency interference (RFI). It also has special foam tiles that prevent RF reflection in the chamber from equipment that is being tested. The purpose of completing this experiment in this special chamber was to rule out RFI as a cause of the anisotropic difference that is noted in results of this experiment. Additionally, during this experiment I obtained peak values and Vrms values from the instrument. It should be noted that during this experiment an oscilloscope probe was not utilized for obtaining the measurement. For this measurement, electrical wire was run from the assigned measurement location to a BNC adapter connected to a coaxial cable that was then run to the oscilloscope input. An obvious anisotropic difference was obtained and RFI was ruled out as a cause of the anisotropic difference.
