Abstract

The statistics of the fields within an enclosure illuminated by an external field via an aperture have been investigated using Monte-Carlo methods. The field statistics in the volume of the enclosure are shown to correspond to the Rayleigh statistics found in properly functioning reverberation chambers when a sufficiently large number of modes is excited. The variation of field behaviour near the conducting walls is investigated. The deviation of the field statistics from the Rayleigh distribution as the number of excited modes falls is also investigated.
