Abstract

The geometrical characteristics of radio signals diffracted by edge block and the Vogler multiple edge diffraction function were studied. Three ray method was proposed to model iron board block. In the indoor environment, the diffraction attenuation characteristics of the rectangular iron board blockage were measured by using 45GHz frequency millimeter wave signal. In the experiments, the height of the transmitting antenna was steered in the range of 0.6-1.7m away from the ground, and the diffraction attenuation characteristics of the millimeter wave signal were measured at 8 meters away from the transmitting antenna. The experiment results show that the higher the signal source position is, the smaller the diffraction attenuation is.
