Adding Arbitrary Antennas For Down Range Propagation With Moving Window FDTD - Presentation
By Kyle L. Labowski, Brad Suchoski, Kimberly L. Adams, and Ruth S. Belmonte, Remcom, Inc.
Propagation models represent the physical environment in order to predict signal strength in different scenarios without having to take actual measurements. More accurate inputs lead to more accurate predictions. FDTD techniques are traditionally used to solve 3D antenna problems with high accuracy. Moving Window Finite Difference Time Domain (MWFDTD) uses this same method for accurate long range 2D propagation prediction. The addition of aperture synthesis techniques to this framework allows arbitrary antenna patterns from 3D antenna models to be applied to this 2D framework. The patterns are formed by 2D waveguide arrays using the Woodward-Lawson pattern synthesis technique. Theoretical antenna pattern results are presented as well as down range propagation comparisons with the Vertical Plane propagation model in Remcom's Wireless Insite.
