Exploring Short Pulses in Reverberation Chambers

We present a detailed study of short versus long pulses in reverberation chambers (RC). Understanding their behaviour in RC should contribute to reliable EMC testing with pulsed signals. To this end, we analyse amplitude and shape of pulses averaged over stirrer positions as a function of chamber loading for different frequencies. While the amplitude essentially corresponds to theoretical expectations, there are unexpected features in the shape especially for short pulses.
