What does a reverberation chamber measure for an antenna?

  • A.The far field pattern of the antenna in every plane simultaneously
  • B.The impedance of the antenna over a wide frequency band at once
  • C.The polarisation purity of the antenna averaged over all directions
  • D.Total radiated power and hence efficiency, independent of pattern

Answer: D

A stirred reflective chamber creates a statistically uniform field, so the received or radiated power can be integrated over all directions and polarisations without measuring the pattern at all. That gives total radiated power and, with the input power, the efficiency. Pattern and impedance are measured by other means, and polarisation information is deliberately averaged away, which is exactly what makes the measurement fast and pattern independent.
