Acoustic analogs for the characterization room electromagnetics

Abstract

In indoor wireless communication the radio channel is comprised of the direct and diffuse multipath components. As in the acoustics case these diffuse components are the result of non-specular and random scattering. This state-of-affairs is particularly problematic for short-range millimeter wavelength radio system. The Eyring model has recently been shown to be effective in modeling the electromagnetic power decay profile in rooms. In this work temporal decay rates of the energy in coupled spaces is considered. The role which inter-room transmission and energy absorption play on the power decay profile will be examined. Special session: Acoustics Network Protocol, Underwater Acoustic Communications.
