An empirical statistical detection of non-ideal field distribution in a reverberation chamber confirmed by a simple numerical model based on image theory

Abstract

In this article, the effect of the size of the antennas on the distribution of the electric field observed in a reverberation chamber is analyzed. Our hypothesis is that the more the antenna is voluminous, the more the behavior of the chamber appears to be ideal through measurement analysis. A simple numerical model is presented and used to verify the phenomenon and give credence to the assumption.
