Prediction and measurement of wall insertion loss

Abstract

IEEE AP-S, Vol. 47, No. 1, Jan. 1999, pp. 55 -57The article of record as published may be located at http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/8.752988A propagation loss study is presented to determine the attenuation of various building walls. An approximate model was developed for the propagation of a spherical electromagnetic wave through a building wall of known material properties. This model is based on the method of images and geometrical optics. This approximate model is shown to be in good agreement with measured results
