Theoretical derivation and measurements of the relationship between coherence bandwidth and RMS delay spread in reverberation chamber

This paper presents the derivation and measurements of the relationship of coherence bandwidths and RMS delay spreads in reverberation chamber. The measured results are in good agreement with the theory. The coherence bandwidths are controlled to be between 2.5 and 10 MHz by loading the chamber.
