Reverberating chambers as sources of stochastic electromagnetic fields

This paper investigates the electromagnetic field in reverberating chambers. Reverberating chambers are large overmoded cavities wherein a nonstationary electromagnetic held is present. This electromagnetic held is stochastic in nature; therefore, proper analytical tools need to be considered in order to characterize it, In this paper we deal with the theoretical aspects related to the characterization of the electromagnetic field inside the chamber and with the application to the case of the reverberating chamber of the Istituto Universitario Navale.
