In this paper we propose a straight- forward 3D time domain model of a reverberation chamber (RC) based on image theory. This model allows one to describe the earliest moments of an arbi- trary waveform in an RC. Time domain and frequency domain results from this model are analyzed and compared with measurements conducted in a reverberation chamber.
