What does a reverberation chamber measure?

  • A.Total radiated power without regard to the pattern
  • B.The far field pattern in all planes at once from a single sweep
  • C.The impedance of an antenna over a wide band simultaneously
  • D.The polarisation purity of an antenna averaged over frequency

Answer: A

A metal room with a stirrer produces a statistically uniform, randomly polarised field, so the power received or radiated can be averaged over all directions and polarisations without measuring any pattern. That yields total radiated power and hence efficiency very quickly. Pattern and impedance are measured elsewhere, and polarisation information is deliberately averaged away, which is precisely what makes the measurement fast and orientation independent.
