Abstract :
In this paper the uncertainty of reverberation chamber measurements is determined by a procedure proposed for a possible CTIA standard. The different contributions to the measurement uncertainty are analyzed. By improving the mode stirring based on this knowledge, it was possible to reduce the standard deviation of the measurements from about 0.5 dB to 0.3 dB for frequencies above 600 MHz.
