Though the theory shows that in a scattering environment an extra factor of tripling the channel capacity can be obtained, the extra energy is obtained because there are six distinguishable electric and magnetic states of polarization at a given point. According to the characteristics of radio transmission spreading in a scattering environment, the antenna of circular polarization is adopted in HF. and the results show that polarization diversity cannot distinguish spatial channels by the common radio stations and antennae.","PeriodicalId":179885,"journal":{"name":"6th International SYmposium on Antennas, Propagation and EM Theory, 2003.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tank filled with dry and homogeneous sand is installed in the laboratory. Within meaningful frequency band of the transmitting signal, the electrical properties of the material under test (MUT), such as dry sand and acryl used in experiment, are measured by using an open-ended coaxial probe method. The electrical properties of the drysand are similar to that of acryl. Therefore, to maintain precise position of the buried targets, support is made of acryl and filled with the dry sand. Leaking water could saturate the surrounding medium of leaky pipes. In experiment, however, it is very difficult to maintain moisture content and distribution of wet sand. Equivalent model instead of wet sand is necessary. The electrical property of the wet sand under saturation is very alike that of methanol. Therefore, the box is made of acryl plates and filled with methanol. The box with methanol filling is equivalently considered as water leakage model. We perform B-scan surveys with various situations. And we have investigated the possibility of GPR on detection water leakage as well as the pipe.","PeriodicalId":179885,"journal":{"name":"6th International SYmposium on Antennas, Propagation and EM Theory, 2003.

In this paper, according to the operating frequency bandwidth for a HFSWR, where both the gain and the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of a receiving monopole can satisfy the requirement of engineering design, it mainly describes the process in which the loading circuit parameters, locations of the loads along the antenna, as well as matching network parameters are optimized by the simulated annealing algorithm (SAA) to achieve a VSWR less than 3 in the operating frequency bandwidth. Several examples antennas illustrate that the SAA is an effective method for designing HF broadband loaded antennas.","PeriodicalId":179885,"journal":{"name":"6th International SYmposium on Antennas, Propagation and EM Theory, 2003.
