Reverberation chamber with variable received signal amplitude distribution

In standard reverberation chambers the measured signal have a Rayleigh distributed amplitude over different stirrer positions. In this paper, a method is presented by which the amplitude distribution can be varied from Rayleigh to Gauss, by introduction of a constant signal component. Thereby, the chamber can better simulate real mobile communication signal environments. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
