Abstract

This paper shows that the received power and E-field in a reverberation chamber (RC) can be shaped by tuning the statistical properties of input signals. For a given probability density function (PDF) of an RC response, the Fourier transform method can be applied to find the PDF of the input signal. Numerical and measurement verifications are given to validate the theory. Limitations are also analyzed and discussed.
