A Plane Wave Monte Carlo Simulation Method for Reverberation Chambers

A Monte Carlo simulation is proposed to represent the electromagnetic environment of mode stirred reverberation chambers. The proposed method is based on a plane wave model and allows us to simulate both the point statistics and the spatial correlation of the electromagnetic distribution inside an ideal reverberation chamber. By means of this approach, it is possible to predict the electromagnetic coupling to electrical devices. The application of the proposed method to predict the electromagnetic coupling to a transmission line inside a reverberation chamber is proposed, and prediction results are compared with measurements.
