Summary:
In this paper we point out the similarities between measurements performed in a reverberation chamber and the numerical method of Monte Carlo integration. Further, the corresponding measurements in anechoic chambers will be viewed as Riemann-type of integration. The insight that reverberation chamber measurements share many similarities with Monte Carlo integrations is not of pure academic interest. It opens up to utilize many of the methods developed in computational physics and statistics to speed up Monte Carlo integrations. Some of these techniques will be discussed here together with applications.
