Shipboard Radio Frequency Propagation – A Software Simulation Analysis

Description/Abstract/Artist Statement

The effective transmission of wireless radio frequency (RF) signals within a highly conductive or confined environment is extremely important. Specifically, this situation is faced within naval ship environments where tight metal corridors, and other interference factors create a hostile environment for RF signals. This study outlines some of the infrastructure specifications that make efficient and effective RF communication possible below the decks of a naval ship. It provides accurate details of indoor propagation simulation results using the cutting-edge Altair WinProb software platform. This analysis presents some of the ray tracing and antenna design models that were used to obtain precise RF simulation results. In addition, this study provides a full 3D modeling approach with multipath signal simulation in order to accurately predict the behavior of indoor RF propagation.
