For Wireless internet service in Metropolitan area, optimum location selection for base station and cell planning are critical process in determining service coverage by accurate prediction of Wave Propagation Characteristics. Due to different kinds of characteristics in service area such as lay of land, natural feature and material, height and width of artificially made building, it has a great impact on the transmission and distance recovery of wireless network service. Therefore, these facts may cause substantial barriers in predicting & analyzing the expected level of service quality and providing it to subscribers. In this thesis, we have simulated the process to improve quality and coverage of the service by adjusting the location of Base station and the antenna angle that influence the service after the basic location of base station is selected according to the wave prediction model. Based on this simulations test, we have demonstrated the results in which subscribers would get higher quality of wireless internet service along with bigger coverage and the improved quality in the same service coverage area through optimization process of base station.

In this paper, an interference analysis method with a site-specific path loss model for a wireless personal area network (WPAN) is proposed. The site-specific path loss model is based on geometrical optics and geometric probability to consider both site-specific radio propagation characteristics and a closed-form expression to obtain the mean interference from which the uniformly distributed multiple interferers are derived. Therefore, the proposed interference analysis method can achieve more computational simplicity than the Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation, which uses the ray-tracing (RT) technique. In addition, better accuracy than the conventional interference analysis model that uses stochastic method can also be achieved. To evaluate the proposed method, a signal to the interference-noise ratio with a mean interference concept for uniformly distributed interferers is calculated and compared in two simulation scenarios. As a result, the proposed method produces not only better matched results with the MC simulation using the RT technique than the conventional interference analysis model, but also simpler and faster calculation, which is due to the site-specific path loss model and closed-form expression for interference calculation.

This paper analyzes the propagation characteristics of lightning surge according to the type of branch line in distribution system. The types of branch line considered are H-type and PI-type. At each type, the length of main feeder is same, while the number and length of branch line are different. The distribution line is modeled and the various lightning locations are simulated by Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP). For each lightning, the various measuring points are selected. Based on the simulation results, the propagation characteristics of lightning surge at each measuring point are analyzed. The analyzed results are verified by travelling wave theory.

This paper presents a 3-D finite difference time domain (FDTD) method used for indoor propagation simulations where the electromagnetic wav eis uniformly excited on th eone of the wall in a building and affected by an indoor obstacles. In cases of simulation and measurement, the frequency of 851 MHz is used. The conductivities of walls, floor, ceiling and indoor obstacles are measured and used for simulations. These simulations are carried out using different boundary condition such as mur's absorbing boundary condition (ABC) and perfectly matched layer (PML) technique. The PML technique is found to be well-suited to this analysis because of it's smaller computational domain than mur's ABC. The measured signal strengths are compared to simulated values with good agreement.

In this paper, we quantiatively analyze the broadband CDMA systems with high chip rate, which virually eliminates the multipath fading effects by distinguishing each reflected paths in the process of despreading. We model the broadband multipath propagation channel with random time-variant impulse response as a linear filter of tapped delay line to evaluate the performance of broadband CDMA systems in multipath fading environment. This statistical model, based on extensive experimental data, was established to characterize the urban radio propagation medium in various environments. We perform computer simulation of the transmission and reception of broadband CDMA systems by applying it to abve channel model. From the simulation results, we confirm that the broadband CDMA systems inherenly reduce the effects of multipath fading phenomena which causes to degrade the performance of mobile communication systems, based on the results of eye-diagram and BER curve.

In this paper, a SIT(Source Independent Tree) method for ray tracing is proposed to enhance the efficiency of tree construction with reuse of sub tree in urban environment, As the SIT method is applied, the decrease of the number of nodes for picocell and microcell simulations is 100 times. And 88~98 % of the total nodes are reused with change of location of signal source from an analysis of node reuse efficiency. Therefore the proposed SIT method is useful in performance enhancement of ray tracing, especially, for multiple antenna simulation like as MIMO system and cell planning.

The ferrite device that has nonreciprocal characteristics has been used as various microwave components. In this paper, the spectral-domain method was used to analyze the characteristics of structure(strip line on multilayer structure with ferrite material) for which no paper has been published yet. It is assumed that an external dc magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the ground conductor. The propagation constant is calculated for each parameter and frequency. Also we considered convergence by increasing the number of basis functions and verified the numerical analysis results. From the results, we could confirm that as the thicknesses of YIG is increased, the cutoff region is widened and the propagation constant is decreased at the frequency of upper cutoff region. For a larger applied dc magnetic field, the frequency of cutoff region is found to be increased. Also the simulation results for strip line show that the cutoff region is widened and the propagation constant is larger than that of microstrip line.

The propagation properties of various pulse signal types(square pulse, Gaussian pulse, trapezoid pulse, RF pulse) on coupled microstrip lines are investigated. Numerical integration technique which has its accuracy and is easily simulated, is used to obtain the time domain response of pulse signals. Frequency-dependent characteristics of coupled microstrip line is obtained using Jansen's approximate equation. The propagation properties of pulse signal on coupled microstrip lines is analyzed regarding to its geometric structure (relative permittivity ${varepsilon}_r$ substrate height h, strip width w of the microstrip line) and pulse width ${\tau}$ of signal pulse. The simulation results show that space between two lines is very significant parameter in pulse distortion in comparison of any other parameters. The results of this paper are compatible to the trade-off determination of relative permittivity, substrate height, strip width and pulse width of signal pulse when a design of MIC and MMIC is necessary.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate a method for exciting and receiving torsional and longitudinal mode guided waves with an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) ring array. First of all, a three-dimensional guided wave simulator is developed in order to numerically analyze the propagation of the guided wave. The finite difference time domain method is used for the simulator. Second, two guided wave testing systems using an EMAT ring array are provided: one is for torsional mode (T-mode) guided wave and the other is for longitudinal mode (L-mode). The EMATs used in the both systems are the same in design. A method to generate and receive the T- and L-mode guided waves with the same EMAT is proposed. Finally, experimental and numerical results are compared and discussed. The results of experiments and simulation agree well, showing the potential of the EMAT ring array as a mode controllable guided wave transmitter and receiver.

In this paper to evaluate the performance of the polarization diversity and the space diversity in the indoor environment, we used 3D Ray-tracing simulation. This model is capable of predicting small scale fading characteristics of the channel for evaluating the performances of both the polarization and the space diversity scheme. The measurement and simulation results show that the polarization diversity and the space diversity are expected to be efficiently used for the indoor environments. Moreover, the results show that the proposed polarization diversity technique using directional dual polarization microstrip array antennas has more diversity gain than the conventional polarization and space diversity using dipole antenna.
