We experimentally investigate fluctuations in the eigenvalues of the
impedance, admittance and scattering matrices of wave chaotic systems using
a microwave analog of a quantum chaotic infinite square well potential. We
consider a 2-D, time-reversal symmetric chaotic microwave resonator driven
by two non-ideally coupled ports. The system-specific coupling effects are
removed using the measured radiation impedance matrix
($\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{Z}} _{Rad} )$ [1] of the two ports. A normalized impedance matrix
($\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{z}} )$ is thus obtained, and the Probability Density Function (PDF) of its
eigenvalues is predicted to be universal depending only on the cavity loss.
We observe remarkable agreement between the statistical properties of
$\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{z}} $ and
$\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{y}}
=\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{z}} ^{-1}$ for all degrees of loss, which is in accordance with [1, 2] and
Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We compare the joint PDF of the eigenphases of
the normalized scattering matrix
($\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{s}} )$ with that obtained from RMT for varying degrees of loss. We study
the joint PDF of the eigenvalues of
$\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{s}}
\mathord{\buildrel{\lower3pt\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle\leftrightarrow$}}\over
{s}} ^{\dag }$ and find good agreement with [3]. [1] X. Zheng, \textit{et al.,} --
