Electromagnetic measurement in a mode-stirred chamber

This paper describes an electromagnetic-field distribution measurement tech nique used in a mode-stirred chamber The technique is based on the electrom agnetic infrared method developed at ONERA. The paper shows the electric-fi eld distribution characteristics (average, min, maw, standard deviation, an d spatial distribution) at discrete frequencies. The efficiency of the meth od is demonstrated by showing that, with a few sets of measurements, the el ectromagnetic-field distribution in a mode-stirred chamber can be evaluated .
