Abstract :
An approximate but fast method to calculate the reverberation chamber Q-factor based on the volume mean value of the electric field is presented. Meanwhile, combined with the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, the Q-factor is calculated with a small amount of calculation and less time. This method is verified comparing with measured data.
