Maximum Working Volume Evaluation in a Non-Canonical Reverberation Chamber

This paper presents a procedure for evaluating the performance of reverberation chambers, by approximating the maximum working volume in a given configuration. The evaluation of this volume is based on the geometrical and physical constraints, e.g., the ones related to the internal E-field distribution recommended by standards. The importance of the present work is related to the development of a non-canonical reverberation chamber configuration, whose excitation is carried out by transmission lines, instead of antennas plus paddles.
