An initial acoustic calibration was performed for the NASA Langley Research Center reverberation chamber located on the aircraft Noise Reduction Laboratory. The physical characteristics of the chamber and measured data for the ambient acoustic levels, reverberation times, reflection coefficients, the spatial uniformity of acoustic energy as measured in the 1/3-octave bands from 40 Hz to 10 KHz and acoustic power levels of a standard source are described. Measured power levels compared very well with those published for the ILG standard source. The measured data indicate that for broadband noise fields, the reverberation room has acceptable acoustic performance in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 8 KHz. (Author)
