This book offers state of the art information about a novel range of applications for electromagnetic reverberation chambers (RC). It is written by international experts in electromagnetic theory, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and antenna design and measurement. For each application area a renowned researcher introduces the general concepts and then describes the recent advances in that field.

The following topics are thus addressed in the context of reverberation chambers in the 9 chapters of the book:

Calibration of reverberation chambers with the "well stirred condition" method
Performance assessment of the most popular stirring techniques for broadband tests
Probabilistic model in the context of radiated susceptibility tests
Over-the-air testing of wireless devices
Material absorption and dosimetry for animal exposure
Characterization of antenna efficiency and radiation pattern
Radar cross section estimation

Chapter 1 provides a general method (the so-called well-stirred condition method) to characterize the quality of the field generated in an RC. The method, which is fast and accurate, aims at defining the minimum frequency where an RC can be considered “well-stirred.” After giving a clear definition of this important concept, the method is illustrated on the stirring technique the most used nowadays, a mechanically stirred RC, in other terms when the enclosure is equipped with a rotating mode stirrer. In addition, MATLAB programs related to this method are available on the IET website.

Finally, a concluding chapter identifies and explores some of the exciting developments and open issues that represent emerging trends in reverberation chamber research.

The book is aimed at advanced students and researchers in signal processing, antenna design or EMC who need to know about new applications of reverberation chambers.
