An suburban area is used as examples. The prediction procedure is done in three steps. First, the image segmentation is employed to divide the area image into subgroups by using Maximum Likelihood algorithm. The second step uses the subgroup images from step 1 to determine the parameters for the fuzzy model that we use to classify the propagation areas. The final step is to plot the path loss contour on the image so the cellular cell site can be chosen. The research results show that the proposed segmentation provides an accuracy of 80-90% compared with the actual area. Therefore, cell site selection can be designed on the 2-dimension aerial map with the error less than 8 dB.","PeriodicalId":409971,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124314080","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}

The amplitude and phase relationship between the four pins to maintain circular polarization is obtained by two wide band 90deg hybrid couplers. It can easily realize matching by changing the position of feed points. In the experiment results, high isolation between transmission port and receiving port, wide 3-dB beamwidth and perfect circular polarization characteristics in the dual-band are obtained.","PeriodicalId":409971,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132452770","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}
