Interconnection of complex cavities analyzed by the Random Coupling Model

Abstract

Today, the statistical analysis of complex electromagnetic cavities constitutes a very active field of research in electronics, electromagnetic compatibility, wireless communications, and, more broadly, statistical physics. The Random Coupling Model (RCM) provides a framework for predicting the statistics of scattering of radiation in complicated enclosures (S. Hemmady, IEEE T-EMC, 54-4, 2012). Starting from the rigorous solution of Maxwell's equations, the RCM makes use of results from wave chaos and random matrix theory (RMT) to model the mode spectrum of cavities whose geometry is complicated or unknown in detail. Such an approach should be relevant to mode-stirred reverberation chambers (RC).
