Abstract

IEEE In a reverberation chamber (RC), the angular correlation coefficient of a stirrer is an important parameter. It has been used to evaluate the performance of a stirrer or to estimate the number of independent samples in a measurement. In the previous work, the angular correlation coefficient (ACC) was evaluated numerically and no analytical equation was proposed. In this study, we propose an approximate analytical equation to fit the measured angular correlation that shows good agreements with measurement results. General properties of ACC are explored with physical insights; the equivalency of the mean value of the angular correlation and the <formula><tex>$K$</tex></formula>-factor is revealed. This study provides further understandings on the control of the stirrer angular correlation and the <formula><tex>$K$</tex></formula>-factor in an RC.
