Abstract
In this paper, we measure and analyze propagation characteristic of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning(HVAC) ducts within buildings for wireless networks. We analyze the duct structures, implement the feeders exciting propagating modes, and simulate the excitation characteristic. We measure the propagation characteristic of HAVC ducts at 2.45 GHz WiFi band and compare it with that of LOS and partitioned office environments. We propose the design method of wireless network using HVAC ducts based on our results.
