Abstract

Wireless communication system for firefighters has an important role as the last communication method between the commander and the firefighters in disaster sites like fire. But the operation of Gyeongnam wireless communication system is installed, and maintained and controlled without criteria for the selection of a transmitting station and the analysis of propagation environment because of the lack of budget and the absence of professional personnel. To improve the performance of the radio station, this paper theoretically calculated free space loss of UHF 400 MHz band used by all firefighters in Gyeongnam and diffractions caused by single and multiple obstacles and computed the error after comparing the results of the actual measurement to those of simulation with FRAS operated by KFL. In the results, Deygout model was the most consistent with the actual measurement for 400MHz band in Kimhae site.

소방무선통신시스템은 화재, 구조, 구급 등 재난현장에서 지휘관과 현장 요원 간 최후의 통신으로서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 하지만 경남 소방무선통신시스템의 운영은 예산범위의 한계와 전문적인 통신 인력의 부재로 송신국 부지선정, 전파환경 분석 등의 정량적 기준 없이 설치 및 유지 관리되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 경남 김해 소방무선중계국(신어산)을 기준으로 도내 전 소방관들이 실제 운용중인 UHF 400 MHz 대역을 자유공간손실과 단일, 다중 장애물에 의한 회절량을 이론적으로 계산하고, 한국전파연구원에서 운영 중인 주파수자원분석시스템을 통해 시뮬레이션 및 실제 측정결과 값을 비교하여 그 오차를 산정하였다. 그 결과, 김해지역에서의 400 MHz 대역 전파예측모델은 회절모델인 Deygout모델이 측정치와 일치하였다.
