Abstract

The spectral field data on the observation planes inside a mode stirred chamber have been computed by using the FDTD method. They can describe the directional dependence of all supported modes in the reverberation chamber (RC). Correlation coefficients have been found to evaluate the stirring effects. The correlation coefficients were obtained and compared for three different sizes of stirrers and statistical uniformity was investigated.

FDTD 수치해석법을 이용하여 모드가 변화하는 레버버레이션 챔버(RC) 내의 관측 평면내에서 파수 영역에서의 필드값의 계산이 가능하다. 이 필드 값은 RC 내의 모든 여기되는 모드의 방향성을 나타내어 준다. 스터링 효과를 계산하기 위하여 코릴레이션 계수를 구하였으며, 이를 3개의 상이한 스터러의 구조에 적용하여 그 결과를 상호 비교하였다. 이 결과를 통계적인 분석에 의한 표준편차와 비교하여 그 정당성을 입증하였다.
