Fdtd Analysis Of Mutual Coupling Between Microstrip Patch Antennas On Curved Surfaces, Joonho Byun, Byungje Lee, Frances J. Harackiewicz
Conference Proceedings
The effect of curvature on mutual coupling between microstrip antennas on curved surfaces is studied by using the conformal FDTD method. The method has shown excellent versatility. The method is also applied to antennas mounted on flat and orthogonal substrates for comparison. The results show the strong effect of the different shaped substrates on the mutual coupling.
Propagation Characterization Of Leo/Meo Satellite Systems At 900-2100 Mhz, William P. Osborne, Yongjun Xie
Propagation Characterization Of Leo/Meo Satellite Systems At 900-2100 Mhz, William P. Osborne, Yongjun Xie
Conference Proceedings
This paper focuses on the propagation characterization of satellite communication systems in non-geostationary orbits at 900-2100MHz. An overview of available statistical propagation models for the mobile satellite communications channel is provided. Path loss equations for satellite communication systems in the range of 900-2100MHz for different environments and different probabilities of link closure are addressed. We also introduce a series of experiments being conducted to deepen understanding of these issues.
