In this paper, we present the analysis of radio wave propagation characteristics in curved tunnels. Tunnel propagation models are performed in two cases which are using ray-tracing method for straight tunnels and geometrical optics extension to the standard hybrid waveguide model for curved ones. By regression analysis for measured power based on distance between the transmitter and the received antenna in tunnels that have 3.5 m $\times$ 6 m cross section and limited wall depth path loss are 0.19 dB/m for straight section and 0.68 dB/m for curved ones. By comparing model analysis with measurement in tunnels, it has been shown that the simulated results of tunnel propagation models are similar to the measured values.

This paper presents that photonic bandgap structures suppressing the propagation of surface waves can improve the performance of the patch antennas on thick high dielectric constant substrate. The forbidden propagation of surface wave due to the photonic bandgap enhances the radiation efficiency and reduce the back radiation drastically with maintaining the small size and wide bandwidth of the antennas.

This paper studies a convenient electromagnetic field (EMF) compliance assessment for base station installations at a millimeter wave (mmW) frequency. We utilize ray-tracing analysis as a numerical method for examining the wave propagation characteristic. Various installation cases are considered and the important parameters with a significant effect on the maximum power density levels are produced. We finally suggest the several scenarios for the convenient assessment of mmW base stations, which allow us to conduct cost effective computational tests compared with the current assessment procedure in the guideline.

Design procedure of corrugated horn antenna for mm-wave frequency range is presented, and hybrid condition in horn is calculated. Balanced hybrid mode should be converted in the horn from TE11 mode by the proper corrugation dimensions which size are available to be fabricated under the mm-wave short wavelength condition. In this paper, corrugate profiles which satisfy both hybrid condition and fabrication possibility are obtained.. By cylindrical mode theory, the electromagnetic fields both inside hem and corrugation are delivered. Propagation characteristics in hem is calculated by the mode impedance matching method with boundary conditions, and radiation fields are obtained by the Kirchhoff-Hyugen principle to the hem aperture fields. A mm-wave corrugated horn operates on 85 - 115GHz is designed and fabricated, and results of measurement are also shown.

In mobile radio communication system involving geostationary satellites the field intensity of electromagnetic wave varies with frequency shape and location of an obstacle between a tramamitter and a receiver. In this paper a ring type obstacle between the propagation paths is presented. On the basis of Fresnel diffraction theory, the field intensity varying with ring-type obstacle’s radius is obtained by computer simulation.]

In indoor radio systems, vehicular communication systems, and land mobile systems, a very important problem is that of maintaing stable communications at all locations. Therefore solutions for the indoor propagation problem are an important aspects of the mobile communication system. Leaky coaxial cables finding increasing use in communications systems involving mines, tunnels, railroads, and highways, and in new obstacle detection, or guided radar, schemes for ground transpor- tation and perimeter surveilance. In this paper a leaky coaxial cable having periodic slots in the outer conductor is described to obtain the propagation modes in the various environments. We use an essentric cylindrical model to develop the theory for surface-wave propagation on the cable. Numerical Results are also included for the propagation constants, field distribution and impedance as functions of various parameters. First, we derive the electromagnetic equation for leaky coaxial cable having periodic slots using mode-matching method and Floguet's theorem, and then find various modes, propagation constants, field distribution, etc.

The significant additional path loss is caused by scattering, diffraction, and attenuation of propagation. Most of the wave propagation models for rural areas mainly have considered the influence of topography but ignored the effects due to land usage. The goal of this paper is development of the field strength prediction program for Cheju which is used the contour map and the effects due to land usage. In oder to classify the propagation path and divide the environment of land, data of the terrain and the land-cover are formed into a pixel. Two-ray model is transformed into equivalent model by the predicted reflection coefficient and the slope of terrain. For non line of sight, the additional loss is determined by quantitative analysis. The result show good accord and the wave propagation model program can be applied to predicted the service region in rural area of Cheju.

It is very important to analyze and predict the propagation characteristics of LEO communication satellite at the service area using computer simulation. In this paper, the propagation characteristics of a satellite communication system are analyzed using ray tracing technique. We predicted the receiving environment and obtain the delay profile and total received power at each position using ray tracing method by changing both the azimuth and elevation angles after establishing the imaginary receiving space. The final goal of this paper is to analyze and understand the wave propagation characteristics of the satellite communication network about 2 GHz frequency band. The prediction method presented in this paper may help us to design satellite transceiver system and to construct a satellite communication network.

This paper is concenred with a finite volume time domain (FVTD) method for the analyses of transmission efficiency of electromagnetic wave propagation in tunnels with bend and fold. This method is gased on the volume integratio sof the maxwell's equation with respected to arbitrary shaped small polyhedron cells. The advantages of the present mehtod are that the algorithm is very simple since the coordinate system is restricted only to the cartesian, and so the arbitrary shaped boundaries can easily be dealt with since the fields at every center point of the cells are assigned in an average fashion.

Propagation losses including bath transmission losses and bending losses of the flexible dielectric tube waveguide using commercial polymer substances for a short distance millimeter wave transmission are analytically predicted. The transmission loss and the bending loss are strongly dependent on the power flow distributions in each region. The obtained propagation tosses are compared with those of the commercial metal rigid and flexible waveguides.
