Analysis of Variance on Design parameters of Reverberation Chambers

Reverberation chambers (RCs) are measurement rooms for electromagnetic compatibility tests and antenna measurements. RCs consist of a metal cavity and rotating mechanical stirrers. Although they are frequently used, the certain design methodology is not established. Existing studies show the effect of the design parameters. However, they are basically focused on specific one parameter, while others are fixed. In this paper, we investigate the mutual effects of multiple parameters on the field uniformity of RCs by the analysis of variance (ANOVA).
