Abstract

This paper evaluates the electromagnetic field deviation from its deterministic value when the electrical parameters of the scenery under investigation are not known in a deterministic form but can be considered statistically distributed. First, a statistical model for the electrical parameters that will be used in the electromagnetic procedure is defined. Then, the analysis is performed by employing an efficient deterministic RT simulation in conjunction with a Monte Carlo procedure, allowing us to evaluate the electromagnetic field amplitude variations caused by the random electrical parameters
