A simple polarimetric field characterisation in reverberating chambers

A reverberating chamber (RC) is an electrically large cavity in which the electromagnetic field is properly randomised. The randomisation process generates a non-planar field. Here, the recent polarimetric characterisation of non-planar fields is first introduced to describe the field in an RC. The approach is simple and effective and is used on measured data acquired at the mode-stirred RC available at the Universita degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope, formerly Istituto Universitario Navale (IUN). The approach provides a quantitative evaluation of the RC field randomisation process.
