Abstract

Fluctuations of the quality factor of an indoor propagation environment determine the extent and range of signal distortion in links between wireless communication systems. To quantify this effect, we calculate and investigate the first four moments of the power received by a short dipole antenna placed inside a reverberation chamber, as a canonical multipath electromagnetic environment. The analysis is based on the vector angular spectral representations of the electromagnetic random field.
It is found that the receiving function of the antenna causes a deviation from the ideal negative exponential probability distribution, which is found to be a leptokurtic Pearson Type-IV distribution with increased skewness.
Using a generalization of Tai's theory, it is demonstrated that the effective aperture of the antenna does not exhibit fluctuations.
