A two-dimensional finite-element analysis of reverberation chambers

A two-dimensional (2-D) analysis of reverberation chambers is performed at cutoff,The structure considered is lossless and corresponds to an infinite quality factor (Q) chamber. The concept of frequency stirring is used to ge nerate field data for a discrete set of modes and the resulting statistics are analyzed. The field statistics are examined for TE and TM modes, This a nalysis yields statistics similar to the expected reverberation chamber sta tistics for the fields, Mechanical stirring is also examined and a connecti on to the peak-frequency deviation is presented.
