Abstract: The spectral field data on the observation planes inside a mode-stirred chamber, which describe the directional dependence of all supported modes in the reverberation chamber, are computed by using the FDTD method. Correlation coefficients are computed to evaluate the efficiency of the mode stirrer for three different sizes of stirrers. The spectral characteristics of the stirring effects in a reverberation chamber are investigated by using the conventional statistical analysis to determine the uniformity of the spatial electric fields.
