【 摘 要 】

Measuring transmission between four antennas in microwave cavities, we investigate directly the channel cross correlations C of the cross sections sigma(ab) from antenna at <(r)overright arrow>(a) to antenna (r) over right arrow (b). Specifically we look for the C-Sigma and C-Lambda, where the only difference is that C-Lambda has none of the four channels in common, whereas C-Sigma has exactly one channel in common. We find experimentally that these two channel cross correlations are antiphased as a function of the channel coupling strength, as predicted by theory. This anticorrelation is essential to obtain the correct values for the universal conductance fluctuations. To obtain good agreement between experiment and predictions from random matrix theory the effect of absorption has to be included.
