A One-Dimensional Interpretation of the Statistical Behavior of Reverberation Chambers

This work focuses on building a fairly simple yet physically appropriate 1D model for a reverberation chamber which claims to be able to analytically predict the statistical behavior of fields inside such a chamber, without forsaking to the benefits of deterministic models. The statistical properties of the fields are introduced either by varying the size of a 1D stirrer, or (in absence of it) by varying the cavity size itself. A validation analysis was made over 27 different experiments in order to assess the main effects of the frequency and of the stirrer size. The properties derived are in agreement with other theories and with measured results on real reverberation chambers.
