Abstract

The role and impact of the random wave impedance on electric field estimation inside reverberation chambers is a discussion of crucial importance for their users. Based on statistical models for the electric and magnetic fields under ideal reverberation conditions in mode-stirred chambers, a statistical model for the random wave impedance is given. This result for the random wave impedance has implications for electric field estimations based on power density measurements inside reverberation chambers. By Monte Carlo simulations and experimental results, we contribute to the discussion on which could be the best average wave impedance estimator.
