Radio Wave Propagation Through Vegetation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vegetation is an indispensable feature of most outdoor wireless channel environments. The interaction between radio waves and vegetation has been researched for several decades. Because of the complex structure of the foliage, composed of randomly oriented trunks, branches, twigs and leaves, the involved physical process in the propagation of the radiowave through vegetation is complex. Accurate modeling of the propagation of radio waves through tree foliage, generally requires accurate electromagnetic description of the tree geometry, including its branches and leaves, valid over a wide range of frequencies. Originally empirical models were developed to describe the propagation of radio waves in the vegetation. In other approaches this interaction is analyzed using ray-based techniques. More recently theoretical –statistical and analytical– approaches became favorable. As it is discussed in the next section, major disadvantage of all these models is that the final outcome is basically presented by providing an excess attenuation to that caused by free space propagation.

This technical document is a preliminary report on the study of the foliage influence on the radio wave propagation in cellular scenarios. The purpose is to evaluate the dispersion and attenuation caused by vegetations in mobile radio channels, hence we employed a channel sounder to measure received signals behind dense vegetations in the rural areas in Kanagawa, Japan. The transmitter sends a ...

Modelling radio wave propagation through vegetation is becoming increasingly more important. Many emperical solutions have been suggested in the past. The theory of radiative energy transfer offers an analytical method to the problem. This theory requires however 4 imput paramters, which need to be established experimentally. A measurement of the angular scatter pattern, the so called ‘phase fu...
متن کاملRadio Propagation in Rural Residential Areas with Vegetation
In this paper we describe radio wave propagation within mixed residential area consisting of vegetation and houses. We assume no specific knowledge of the houses and vegetation location, but only of their statistical parameters. A three-dimensional (3D) stochastic approach, which is based on the statistical description of the terrain features, houses and vegetation, and deterministic descriptio...
