Simulating Boundary Fields of Arbitrary-shaped Objects in a Reverberation Chamber
Keywords:
Boundary fields, Monte-Carlo simulation, plane wave model, reverberation chamberAbstract
In a reverberation chamber, analytical solutions exist in very limited scenarios for the distribution of the boundary fields. For arbitrary-shaped objects, analytical solutions may not exist. To solve this problem, a general numerical method is proposed to obtain the mean field distribution near arbitrary-shaped objects in a random diffused-wave environment. The proposed method combines the full-wave method and the Monte-Carlo method; the numerical results are validated and compared with that from analytical equations. The proposed method can be applied to arbitrary-shaped objects with general material properties.
