In high-speed wireless communications, an analysis of the propagation characteristics is an important process. Information on the propagation characteristics suitable for each environment significantly helps in the design of mobile communications. This paper presents the analysis results of radio propagation characteristics in outdoor environments for a new mobile wireless system at 781 MHz. To avoid the interference of Korean DTV broadcasting, we measure the channel characteristics in urban, suburban, and rural areas on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, using a channel sounder and $4{\times}4$ antenna. The path loss (PL) measurement results differ from those of existing propagation models by more than 10 dB. To analyze the frequency characteristics for Korean propagation environments, we derive various propagation characteristic parameters: PL, delay spread, angular spread, and K-factor. Finally, we verify the validity of the measurement results by comparing them with the actual measurement results and 3D ray-tracing simulation results.

전자파가 대기를 통과할 때 대기를 형성하고 있는 다양한 요인들에 의해 그 특성이 변동하게 된다. 전파 특성에 영향을 미치는 대기의 주요 요인으로는 수증기, 안개, 산소와 같은 대기 입자, 강우, 강설 및 그 외 여러 종류의 에어로졸을 들 수 있으며, 이러한 것들은 지형 및 지역적 특성에 따라 다르게 분포한다. 따라서 대기 환경에서의 전파 특성을 예측하기 위해서는 주어진 환경에 대한 기온, 습도, 기압, 풍속, 에어로졸 및 강우율 등의 통계적 분석이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내 대기 환경에 대한 통계적 분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 국내 대기 환경에서의 전파 특성을 분석하였다.

A 3D-ray tracing using triangular ray tubes for predicting propagation in indoor environments is presented. Employed ray tracing scheme needs no reception sphere often suffered from how to assign the correct radius as a touching ray on the receiver. To verify the developed codes path loss for a rectangular corridor has been computed, measured, and compared with those by image methods, all shows good agreement to each other. Discussions are made on the path loss fluctuations along the distance in a rectangular corridor having a conducting knife.

현재 아날로그 방식의 마을방송 시스템은 기술 적용의 문제 및 시설 노후화로 인한 성능 저하 등의 문제로 인하여 디지털 시스템으로의 전환과 이에 따른 시스템 표준이 요구되고 있다. 효율적인 디지털 무선 마을 방송 시스템의 구축을 위해서 파라미터를 토대로 전파환경 특성에 기반을 두어 전파의 실측값과 예측 값의 비교분석이 필요하다. 본 논문은 지역 환경을 고려하여 도시지역, 산간지역, 평야지역으로 경로를 설정하여 전파 측정을 하였으며, 측정을 통한 실측값과 예측 값을 SMIS (spectrum management intelligence system) 및 Matlab을 이용하여 전계강도 및 오차를 비교분석하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 전파수신 전력 및 지형별 환경 등의 전파 특징을 예측하고 마을 방송 표준의 확립과 시범 사업화를 위한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) model was developed to analyze electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in an inhomogeneous ionosphere. The EM analysis of ionosphere is complicated, owing to various propagation environments that are significantly influenced by plasma frequency, cyclotron frequency, and collision frequency. Based on the simple auxiliary differential equation (ADE) technique, we present an accurate FDTD algorithm suitable for the EM analysis of complex phenomena in the ionosphere under arbitrary-direction geomagnetic field. Numerical examples are used to validate our FDTD model in terms of the reflection coefficient of a single magnetized plasma slab. Based on the FDTD formulation developed here, we investigate EM wave propagation characteristics in the ionosphere using realistic ionospheric data for South Korea.

As the applications for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) have varied, performance analysis has become one of the main research areas. They commonly offer only simple radio propagation models that neglect obstacles of a propagation environment. The radio wave propagation model has a strong impact on the results of the simulation run. In this paper we present the new experimental results of the impacts of the various propagation models on MANETs' performance. Intensive simulations have been presented using the group mobility which models typical ad-hoc situations such as military movements or disaster recovery activities under the supervision of a group leader. Comparisons of conventional simple models with more complicated models, i.e., shadowing, Raleigh, and Ricean models, show that, in spite of the models' popularity, the free space and two-ray ground models are too optimistic in describing real ad-hoc group mobility situations.

본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 전파특성 분석에 유용한 마이크로 셀용 3D 시뮬레이터를 제시하였다. 지금까지 소개된 대부분의 전파특성 분석 결과들은 2차원 평면에서 거리에 따른 신호의 손실(Path Loss) 위주로 연구가 진행 되었다. 본 연구에서는 실내에서 전파특성을 분석하기 위해 다양한 ITU 모델을 사용하여 입체구조의 실내 환경에서 전파의 수신신호의 세기에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션에서 나타난 결과를 분석해보면 저 주파수(150MHz-400MHz) 대역과 고주파수 대역(2GHz-6GHz) 에서 전파특성이 많은 차이를 나타내고 있다. 그리고 각 수신기의 위치에서 수신 신호는 전파경로상의 벽면에서 손실되는 전력에 따라 차이가 생기기 때문에 송신기의 출력도 중요한 요인으로 분석되었다.

In indoor radio systems, vehicular communication systems, and land mobile systems, a very important problem is that of maintaining stable communications at all locations. Therefore solutions for the indoor propagation problem are important aspects of the mobile communication system. leaky coxial cables are finding increasing use in communications systesm involving mines, tunnels, tailroads, and highways, and in new obstacle detection, or guided radar, schemes for ground transportation and perimenter 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 aneccentric 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 current distribution. First, we derive the electromagnetic equation for leaky coaxial cable having symmetrical periodic slots using mode-matching method and Floquet's theorem, and then find various modes, propagation constants, field distribution, etc.

This research is comprised of virtually simulating behavior while experiencing low gravity effects in advance of real world testing in low gravity aboard Zero Gravity Corporation's (Zero-G) research aircraft (727-200F). The experiment simulated a drill rig penetrating a regolith simulant. Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous superficial deposits covering solid rock on surfaces of the Earth' moon, asteroids and Mars. The behavior and propagation of space debris when drilled in low gravity was tested through simulations and visualization in a leading dynamic simulation software as well as discrete element modeling software and in preparation for comparing to real world results from flying the experiment aboard Zero-G. The study of outer space regolith could lead to deeper scientific knowledge of extra-terrestrial surfaces, which could lead us to breakthroughs with respect to space mining or in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). These studies aimed to test and evaluate the drilling process in low to zero gravity environments and to determine static stress analysis on the drill when tested in low gravity environments. These tests and simulations were conducted by a team from Texas A&M University's Department of Construction Science, the United States Air Force Academy's Department of Astronautical Engineering, and Crow Industries
