Abstract :
We present upper bounds for the rates of frequency scanning and mechanical or electronic stirring inside a reverberation chamber. The bounds are obtained by imposing quasi-stationarity of the field to hold, allowing avoidance of nonlinear distortion of the analog or digital excitation (test) signal injected into the chamber. The interior field is represented as a dynamic stochastic process causing random hybrid modulation of the excitation field.
