Abstract
We study a simple (ray optical, scalar) model of mode-stirred electrom agnetic reverberating enclosures. Extensive numerical simulations reve al consistently that spatial-field homogeneization and (wide-sense) de terministic chaos occur together, as the time-harmonic peak displaceme nt of the mode-stirring wall becomes comparable to the electromagnetic wavelength, Reverberation properties can thus be synthetically gauged by Lyapounov exponents. Semiquantitative design optimization criteria are obtained and possible generalizations are discussed.
