Electromagnetic modeling of 2D electronic mode-stirred reverberating chambers for electromagnetic compatibility and interference analysis and design

Abstract

This research concentrates on developing a complete theoretical tool to analyze the electronic mode-stirred reverberating chamber. A 2D modeling of the EM fields is performed, which can then readily be extended to a 3D analysis of the cavity. The finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method is implemented to discretize the Maxwell's equations. With our newly proposed method, the electromagnetic-field characteristics can be easily studied inside the reverberating chamber under a realistic circumstance, thus opening doors to the analysis of a large spectrum of problems related to both commercial and military applications.
