Statistical multipole formulations for shielding problems

K. Körber and L. Klinkenbusch

Abstract. A multipole-based method is presented for modelling an electromagnetic field with small statistical variations inside an arbitrary enclosure. The accurate computation of the statistics of the field components from the statistical moments of the multipole amplitudes is demonstrated for two- and three-dimensional examples. To obtain the statistics of quantities which depend non-linearly on the field components, higher-order statistical moments of the latter are required.
