We have already proposed an accurate permittivity estimation method for a homogeneous dielectric object based on the geometrical optics (GO) approximation, where dielectric boundary points and their normal vectors are directly reproduced by the range point migration (RPM) method. In addition, the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) based waveform reconstruction method was incorporated to compensate for errors incurred by the GO approximation. This paper shows the experimental investigation of this method, where the new approach for suppressing the creeping wave along dielectric boundary is introduced. The results from real observation data validate its effectiveness, in terms of highly accurate permittivity estimation and buried object boundary reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":354277,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation Conference Proceedings","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123130178","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}

In the analysis of radio propagation characteristics, a λ/2 dipole antenna is assumed to be the wave source in many cases. However, it is necessary to analyze radio propagation characteristics considering the car body. The reason why is that the directivity of car antenna is changed due to the effect of car body. Additionally, the directivity of car antenna is also changed by the effect of antenna position on car body. In this paper, the effect of car antenna position on radio propagation characteristics at a blind intersection is investigated.
