Summary: | Traditionally, in reverberation chambers (RC) measurement autocorrelation or correlation-matrix methods have been applied to evaluate measurement correlation. In this article, we introduce the use of clustering based on correlative distance to group correlated measurements. We apply the method to measurements taken in an RC using one and two paddles to stir the electromagnetic fields and applying decreasing angular steps between consecutive paddles' positions. The results - using varying correlation threshold values - demonstrate that the method calculates the number of effective samples and allows discerning outliers, i.e., uncorrelated measurements, and clusters of correlated measurements. This calculation method allows for non-sequential stir sequence design which can reduce testing time. |
