The Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology hosts two special purpose chambers with (1) RF and (2) acoustic anechoic properties.

State-of-the-art soundproof and electromagnetic radiation proof chambers for ultra-low noise sensing. The acoustic facility includes a large (5m x 5m x 2m) anechoic shielded chamber providing an extremely low-noise environment suitable for all low frequency acoustic, optical and mechanical device/sensor characterisation. The RF facility includes a large (4m x 3m x 2m) anechoic shielded chamber suitable for a wide range of low noise measurements with significantly attenuated electromagnetic levels. This has been calibrated for uninterrupted use between 10MHz and 34GHz.
