An Empirical Statistical Detection of Non-Ideal Field Distribution in a Reverberation Chamber Confirmed by a Simple Numerical Model Based on Image Theory

International audienceIn this article, the effect of the size of the antennas on the distribution of the electric field observed in a reverberation chamber is analyzed. Our hypothesis is that the more the antenna is voluminous, the more the behavior of the chamber appears to be ideal through measurement analysis. A simple numerical model is presented and used to verify the phenomenon and give credence to the assumption
