Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Performance of a Reduced Surface Stirrer for Reverberation Chambers

The paper presents the numerical and experimental analysis carried out to check the performance of a way to reduce blade surface in mechanical stirring. In particular, the stirrer efficiency is quantified in terms of statistical independent positions, working volume field uniformity and Rician K-factor. The adopted numerical code reveals to be very reliable, compared to measurements, resulting in a powerful design tool
