A statistically uniform E-field is created in a reverberation chamber by moving mechanical stirrers to vary boundary conditions. The uniformity of the spatial electric-field distribution in an ideal reverberation chamber can be theoretically estimated by calculating the probability density function of its distribution. However, uniformity in an actual chamber is affected by the dimensions of the chamber and the structure of the stirrers. We experimentally and theoretically evaluated the effect of stirrers on the spatial uniformity of the average, median, and maximum electric-field distributions. When the dimensions of a chamber equipped with effective stirrers are large compared to the wavelength at the operating frequency, that is, when resonant modes above approximately 105 exist below the operating frequency, the spatial uniformity experimentally evaluated agrees well with theoretical values estimated by calculating the probability density function of their distributions.

Abstract: A statistically uniform E-field is created in a reverberation chamber by moving mechanical stirrers to vary boundary conditions. The uniformity of the spatial electric-field distribution in an ideal reverberation chamber can be theoretically estimated by calculating the probability density function of its distribution. However, uniformity in an actual chamber is affected by the dimensions of the chamber and the structure of the stirrers. We experimentally and theoretically evaluated the effect of stirrers on the spatial uniformity of the average, median, and maximum electric-field distributions. When the dimensions of a chamber equipped with effective stirrers are large compared to the wavelength at the operating frequency, that is, when resonant modes above approximately 105 exist below the operating frequency, the spatial uniformity experimentally evaluated agrees well with theoretical values estimated by calculating the probability density function of their distributions.
