Statistical characterization and the simulation of a reverberation chamber using finite-element techniques

Abstract

The statistical characterization of a simulation reverberation chamber is performed by considering a two-dimensional finite element model. This model includes a source to study the particular modal fields that couple into either a transverse electric or transverse magnetic configuration. The analysis includes a characterization of the basic field statistics, max-to-average ratio, normalized standard deviation, stirring ratio, and field uniformity. The shielding effectiveness of an aperture is studied that provides some insight into the nature of the fields coupled from a complex to a noncomplex environment.
