Abstract :
The impulse response in a reverberation chamber is investigated from an experimental and theoretical point of view. A full description is thus proposed based on measurements and confirmed by means of theoretical insights. In particular, the K factor of each tap is emphasized. BER simulations for OFDM and single carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) systems are applied on this channel model and compared to the 802.11n channel model showing some differences mainly for the OFDM transmission.
