Abstract

The next generation of wireless LAN AND PBX systems will make use of the unlicensecd band at 2.5 GHz. Deployment of these systems inside buildings requires and understanding of propagation characteristics within buildings. Because the wavelength is small compared to building dimensions, ray methods can be used to predict propagation, but they require knowledge of the transmission and reflection properties of walls. This paper reports on transmission measurements made at walls made of gypsum board on metal studs, and at concrete block walls using directive antennas. The measurements are found to give good agreement with theoretical results that account for the periodic nature of the wall structure.

차세대 근거리 무선 통신망 및 무선 사설교환기 시스템들을 위해서 2.5GHz 대역의 주파수대역이 광범위하게 사용될 것이 기대된다. 이러한 시스템을 옥내에 설치하여 효율적으로 운용하기 위해서는 전파의 전파 특성의 이해가 중요하다 하겠다. 이 주파수대역의 파장의 길이가 건물의 크기에 비해 상당히 작으므로 광추적 기법을 이용한 전파 전파 예측방식이 많이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 광추적 기법의 정확도는 샐내외 벽에서 전파의 반사 및 투과 특성에 의존하는 바가 상당하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 현대 건축물에 흔히 많이 쓰이는 석고보드 벽과 시멘트 블록 벽의 전자파 특성을 이론적 및 실험적으로 분석하였다.
