Abstract

In this paper, we developed a simulator which can generate the polarization waves for the indoor wireless communications based on three dimensional ray tracing technique and verified the simulation results comparing with the measured data in indoor wireless propagation environments. Using the developed simulator, we analyzed the channel characteristic and polarization diversity reception characteristic for the vertical, horizontal and circularly polarized waves. From the analysis results, in the case of using circularly polarized wave it can be clearly seen that the multipath fading is markedly reduced compared to the vertical and horizontal polarized waves due to the reception characteristic of removing the odd time reflected waves.

본 논문에서는 3D-Ray Tracing 기법을 이용한 옥내 무선통신용 편파발생 시뮬레이터를 개발하고, 실내 무선전파환경에서 실제 측정한 데이터와의 비교를 통하여 검증하였다. 개발된 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 Line-Of-Sight(LOS)와 Non-Line-Of-Sight(NLOS) 무선전파 환경에서 수직, 수평, 원편파에 대한 채널특성과 편파 다이버시티 수신특성을 해석하였다. 그 결과 원편파의 경우 기수회 반사파를 억제 수신하는 특성 때문에 수직 및 수평편파의 경우와 비교하여 다중경로 페이딩이 현저하게 경감됨을 알 수 있었다.
