Yet, the inherent limitations of singlecavity RCs to emulate isotropic Rayleigh-fading scenarios with uniform phase distribution and high elevation angular spread put their representation of realistic scenarios into jeopardy. Recent advances in the last few years, however, have solved all these limitations by using more general mode-stirred reverberation chambers (MSC), wherein the number of cavities, their stirring and coupling mechanisms, and their software postprocessing algorithms is far from simple, representing a new era for wireless communications research, development, and over-the-air testing.
