Abstract

For LW-TLM antenna of 65 kHz, Near-field propagation characteristics due to wave propagation obstacle are analyzed in this paper. The simulation modeling for propagation effects are based on the model of actual LW-TLM antenna which utilizes the frequency of 65 kHz, and the model expressed as propagation obstacle at a mountain height and a proximity of antenna and mountain. The near-field performance are analyzed based on the parameters of simulation model. In case of a normal mountain height and distance between the adjacent mountain and antenna site, a field strength change of about 1.7 dB has occurred. Above the constant distance of propagation obstacle and antenna, the wave propagation characteristics of disregarding the effects of propagation obstacle are shown. The results of this paper can be used to design and build a transmitting antenna site with 65 kHz operating frequency.

논문에서는 65 kHz 장파대역을 사용하는 단축형 지선식 안테나의 전파 장애물에 의한 근거리 전파전파 특성을 분석하였다. 구축되는 65 kHz 장파대역 단축형 지선식 안테나를 모델링하고, 전파 장애물인 산 높이와 안테나 근접도에 따른 모델링을 통하여 전파 장애물이 안테나 전파 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 일반적인 송신 안테나 사이트에 인접한 산 높이와 안테나와의 이격거리를 적용할 경우, 약 1.7 dB 이내의 전계 강도 변화가 발생되었다. 그러나 전파 장애물과 안테나와의 일정한 이격거리 이상에서는 전파 장애물에 의한 영향이 무시될 정도의 전파전파 특성을 나타내었다. 본 논문의 결과는 65 kHz 동작 주파수를 갖는 송신국 안테나 사이트 설계 및 구축 운영에 활용될 수 있다.
