A hybrid 2D to 3D full wave indoor propagation model

Abstract

A hybrid model for the efficient and accurate computation of 3D indoor propagation is presented. The model is based on the volume electric field integral equation. Two 2D simulations with 3D components are performed and their results averaged to produce an accurate approximation for the total electric field. Numerical results are presented demonstrating the improved computational efficiency of the model. It's accuracy is also compared against a full 3D simulation and a very good agreement is achieved.
