Complete space - time validation of a single mode stirrer reverberation chamber for immunity testing

Summary form only given. This paper gives an overview of the validation measurements in a small cubic reverberation chamber (15 m³) equiped with a single mode stirrer and two TEM horns set in cross-polarization in order to enhance the unpolarized character of the stochastic fields. Frequencies of interest are between 900 MHz and 2.5 GHz. The set of results points out that what could be firstly seen as a drawback - the cubic shape - can be effectively overcome by the design quality of the stirrer. Space homogeneity, quality factor, chamber gain, stirring ratio and CDF at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz (GSM, DECT and DCS mobile radio systems) are presented and critically commented
