Abstract :
We have previously shown that there is a polarization imbalance in reverberation chambers that can be removed by polarization stirring. The paper presents our investigation which shows that circularly polarized AUTs (antennas under test) cause a corresponding orientation imbalance, and that this imbalance can be removed by polarization stirring as well.
