주기적인 슬롯을 갖는 누설동축 케이블의 전파 특성

In indoor radio systems, vehicular communication systems, and land mobile systems, a very important problem is that of maintaing stable communications at all locations. Therefore solutions for the indoor propagation problem are an important aspects of the mobile communication system. Leaky coaxial cables finding increasing use in communications systems involving mines, tunnels, railroads, and highways, and in new obstacle detection, or guided radar, schemes for ground transpor- tation and perimeter surveilance. In this paper a leaky coaxial cable having periodic slots in the outer conductor is described to obtain the propagation modes in the various environments. We use an essentric cylindrical model to develop the theory for surface-wave propagation on the cable. Numerical Results are also included for the propagation constants, field distribution and impedance as functions of various parameters. First, we derive the electromagnetic equation for leaky coaxial cable having periodic slots using mode-matching method and Floguet's theorem, and then find various modes, propagation constants, field distribution, etc.

본 논문에서는 터널, 지하철 등 지하 공간에서의 무선통신을 가능하게 하는 주기적인 슬롯을 갖는 누설동축케이블의 전자파 특성을 해석하였다. 주기적인 구조를 해석하기 위해 Floquet 정리를 사용하여 동축 케이블의 표면파 특성을 해석하였고, 전파상수 및 필드의 진폭을 구하기 위하여 다변수 Newton Raphson법을 사용하여 식을 전개하였다. 이 값으로 부터 총축 케이블의 필드 분포, 표면 전송 임피던스(surface transfer impedance), 전류분포, 전파상수 등을 구하였다.
