A three-dimensional (3-D) propagation model, combined with a patched-wall model, has been developed to predict radio loss in a corridor environment. The ray-tracing technique is used and combined with the ray-fixed coordinate system to simplify the computations of transmission, reflection, and diffraction coefficients in 3-D space. The computed path loss is compared with the measured value of 900-MHz and 2.44-GHz radio propagation along a hallway and gives a reasonable agreement. It is also found that the fields transmitted through the interior walls give the major contribution to the received field when the radio path lies around a corner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
