In this article, we propose a time-domain model of a reverberation chamber (RC). This very straightforward model based upon image theory (IT) allows to simulate the behavior of a reverberation chamber in the pulse regime. After a brief introduction of the model, results with different pulse lengths and different loading configurations are presented and compared to measurements made in the reverberation chamber of our laboratory.
