The fabricated branch line coupler shows a coupling and transmission loss of 3.6 dB and 3.9 dB, respectively at the center frequency of 29GHz. In the frequency range from 26GHz to 32GHz (20% bandwidth), it exhibits a return loss of better than 15 dB and isolation of better than 14 dB.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128848435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Models for the propagation into vehicles and buildings enable the calculation of the field strength or received power inside these objects. The inner structure of the vehicles (e.g. metal parts) and buildings (inner walls, furniture) as well as the surroundings (other vehicles, buildings) must be considered, and also different construction materials must be taken into account. A deterministic ray tracing approach has been developed, enabling the computation of the transition from an urban scenario to an indoor scenario and vice versa, thus allowing a very accurate computation of the field strength or received power inside vehicles or buildings. Due to the ray tracing technique, the approach can also be utilized to evaluate wideband properties of the mobile radio channel by computing its impulse response. In order to validate such propagation models, measurements inside and outside a building were made.","PeriodicalId":156210,"journal":{"name":"2003 33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128700458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
