Abstract

This paper discusses the source-stirring technique from an experimental point of view. This technique exhibits good statistics for S₂₁. The results illustrate that the field in a source-stirred cavity has characteristics very similar to the field in a reverberation chamber when mechanical stirring is used. We show statistics for measurements of source stirring over a wide frequency range.
