Abstract :
In this paper, statistical tools were applied to clarify the Rayleigh distribution of the fading signals in a reverberation chamber. Autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions, AFD and LCR are measured. The signals correlation coefficient versus spatial locations is assessed. With the above considered reverberation chamber, measurements reveal a good agreement for emulating mobile fading channels. The measurement procedure described in this paper can be used to verify the performance of any chamber for wireless characterizations
