description The stirrer design is important in a reverberation chamber measurement system. Previous study shows that the rotating radius of the stirrer plays a key role for the stirrer performance. However, to identify the contribution from the structure, optimizing the stirrer structure while keeping the stirring volume unchanged is necessary. In this paper, when the stirring volume is kept invariant, we show that the detailed structure of stirrers can be optimized to improve the performance but the effect is not significant. A comparative study is given to confirm the effect of zigzag boundaries on the stirrers. Both simulations and measurements confirm the performance improvement, key performance indicators such as field uniformity and correlated angles are simulated and measured.
