Abstract
For about 200 eigenfrequencies of a Sinai-shaped three-dimensional microwave resonator electromagnetic field distributions were mapped by measuring the eigenfrequency shift as a function of the position of a spherical perturbing bead. Both regular and chaotic field patterns were found. For the chaotic field distributions all components of the electromagnetic field were found to be uncorrelated and Gaussian distributed.
