Comparison of Reverberation Chamber Shapes Inspired From Chaotic Cavities

Using the knowledge gained from the wave chaos theory, we present simple shapes of resonant cavities obtained by inserting metallic hemispheres or caps on the walls of a parallelepiped-shaped cavity. The presented simulation results show a significant improvement of the field statistical properties when the number of hemispheres or caps increases, and the comparison with a classical reverberation chamber geometry shows an improved homogeneity and isotropy can be attained using these new proposed shapes.
