Jewell Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering R. Michael Buehrer, Chair Peter M. Sforza Jeffrey H. Reed July 3, 2014 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: GIS, RF Modeling, Positioning Copyright 2014, Victoria R. Jewell Use of GIS in Radio Frequency Planning and Positioning Applications Victoria R. Jewell (ABSTRACT) GIS are geoprocessing programs that are commonly used to store and perform calculations on terrain data, maps, and other geospatial data. GIS offer the latest terrain and building data as well as tools to process this data. This thesis considers three applications of GIS data and software: a Large Scale Radio Frequency (RF) Model, a Medium Scale RF Model, and Indoor Positioning. The Large Scale RF Model estimates RF propagation using the latest terrain data supplied in GIS for frequencies ranging from 500 MHz to 5 GHz. The Medium Scale RF Model incorporates GIS building data to model WiFi systems at 2.4 GHz for a range of up to 300m. Both Models can be used by city planners and government officials, who commonly use GIS for other geospatial and geostatistical information, to plan wireless broadband systems using GIS. An Indoor Positioning Experiment is also conducted to see if apriori knowledge of a building size, location, shape, and number of floors can aid in the RF geolocation of a target indoors. The experiment shows that correction of a target to within a building's boundaries reduces the location error of the target, and the vertical error is reduced by nearly half.

Since, experiments of real life problem with real devices are very difficult, simulation is used very often. Among many other important properties that have to be defined for simulative experiments, the mobility model and the radio propagation model have to be selected carefully. Both have strong impact on the performance of mobile wireless networks, e.g., the performance of routing protocols varies with these models. There are many mobility and radio propagation models proposed in literature. Each of them was developed with different objectives and is not suited for every physical scenario. The radio propagation models used in common wireless network simulators, in general researcher consider simple radio propagation models and neglect obstacles in the propagation environment. In this paper, we study the performance of wireless networks simulation by consider different Radio propagation models with considering obstacles in the propagation environment. In this paper we analyzed the performance of wireless networks by OPNET Modeler .In this paper we quantify the parameters such as throughput, packet received attenuation.

  • The Hertzian Dipole Antenna
    24. Antennas What is an antenna Types of antennas Reciprocity Hertzian dipole near field far field: radiation zone radiation resistance radiation efficiency Antennas convert currents to waves An antenna is a device that converts a time-varying electrical current into a propagating electromagnetic wave. Since current has to flow in the antenna, it has to be made of a conductive material: a metal. And, since EM waves have to propagate away from the antenna, it needs to be embedded in a transparent medium (e.g., air). Antennas can also work in reverse: converting incoming EM waves into an AC current. That is, they can work in either transmit mode or receive mode. Antennas need electrical circuits • In order to drive an AC current in the antenna so that it can produce an outgoing EM wave, • Or, in order to detect the AC current created in the antenna by an incoming wave, …the antenna must be connected to an electrical circuit. Often, people draw illustrations of antennas that are simply floating in space, unattached to anything. Always remember that there needs to be a wire connecting the antenna to a circuit. Bugs also have antennas. But not the kind we care about. not made of metal The word “antenna” comes from the Italian word for “pole”. Marconi used a long wire hanging from a tall pole to transmit and receive radio signals. His use of the term popularized it. The antenna used by Marconi for the first trans-Atlantic radio broadcast (1902) Guglielmo Marconi 1874-1937 There are many different types of antennas • Omnidirectional antennas – designed to receive or broadcast power more or less in all directions (although, no antenna broadcasts equally in every direction) • Directional antennas – designed to broadcast mostly in one direction (or receive mostly from one direction) Examples of omnidirectional antennas, typically used for receiving radio or TV broadcasts.

  • Radials for the Ground-Mounted Hfp Vertical
    The Ventenna Company LLC Radials for the Ground-Mounted HFp Vertical Any ground-mounted quarter-wave vertical requires some sort of counterpoise. Although simply connecting the ground side of the feed system to earth ground can provide a degree of operability, metallic conductors (radials) make the counterpoise much more effective. Many people putting up a ground-mounted vertical (especially if it's only for temporary use) think that radials of indeterminate length will work about as well as anything. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it is possible that incorrectly-sized radials could render the antenna (and the connected radio) completely inoperative and useless. Tests made with the Ventenna Company's HFp Portable HF antenna show conclusively that correctly- sized radial lengths (tuned radials) are critical to the antenna's proper operation. An HFp was set up for 20-meter operation, and connected to a network analyzer so that the return loss at the base of the antenna could be measured (return loss is essentially the inverse of SWR - the data presented here has been converted to SWR). The HFp normally uses three radials, arranged at 120º angles for equal spacing around the base of the antenna. The radials were set up in this manner, and varied in length (all three being set to the same length for each measurement) from 27 ft. to 4.5 ft., with return loss measurements taken at the different lengths. The accompanying chart shows the results of the tests.

  • Recommendation Itu-R Bs.561-2*,**
    Rec. ITU-R BS.561-2 1 RECOMMENDATION ITU-R BS.561-2*,** Definitions of radiation in LF, MF and HF broadcasting bands (1978-1982-1986) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, recommends that the following terminology should be used to define and determine the radiation from sound- broadcasting transmitters: 1 Cymomotive force (c.m.f.) (in a given direction) The product formed by multiplying the electric field strength at a given point in space, due to a transmitting station, by the distance of the point from the antenna. This distance must be sufficient for the reactive components of the field to be negligible; moreover, the finite conductivity of the ground is supposed to have no effect on propagation. The cymomotive force (c.m.f.) is a vector; when necessary it may be expressed in terms of components along axes perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The c.m.f. is expressed in volts; it corresponds numerically to the field strength in mV/m at a distance of 1 km. 2 Effective monopole-radiated power (e.m.r.p.) (in a given direction) The product of the power supplied to the antenna and its gain relative to a short vertical antenna in the given direction. (Radio Regulations, No. 1.163.) Radio Regulations No. 1.160 (c) defines the gain of an antenna in a given direction relative to a short vertical antenna Gv as the gain relative to a loss-free reference antenna consisting of a linear conductor, much shorter than one quarter of a wavelength, normal to the surface of a perfectly conducting plane which contains the given direction.

  • Ii ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: LONGWAVE
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: LONGWAVE RADIATIVE TRANSFER THROUGH 3D CLOUD FIELDS: TESTING THE PROBABILITY OF CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT MODELS WITH THE ARM CLOUD OBSERVATIONS. Yingtao Ma, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Robert G. Ellingson Department of Meteorology Clouds play a key role in regulating the Earth's climate. Real cloud fields are non-uniform in both the morphological and microphysical sense. However, most climate models assume the clouds to be Plane-Parallel Horizontal (PPH) plates with homogeneous optical properties. Three characteristics of 3D clouds have been found to be important for longwave radiative transfer. They are: (1) the 3D geometrical structure of the cloud fields, (2) the horizontal variation of cloud optical depth, and (3) the vertical variation of cloud temperature. One way to incorporate the 3D geometrical effect in climate studies is through the use of an effective cloud faction, for which a major component is the Probability of Clear Line Of Sight (PCLOS). The PCLOS also plays an important role in accounting for longwave 3D effects caused by variable cloud ii optical depth and vertical change of cloud temperature. Aimed at improving the parameterization of longwave radiative transfer through 3D clouds, this study formulated a set of PCLOS models and tested the models with the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) cloud observations. In order to investigate the sampling issue that arises from attempting to obtain domain-averaged information from time series of observations, an evaluation technique was developed and tested with Cloud Resolving Model (CRM) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model data. Various cloud properties that are necessary for the PCLOS models such as the absolute cloud fraction (N), cloud thickness, cloud spacing, and horizontal size were inferred from the ARM observations.
