“…This result proves the existence of openings that allow EM leakage between adjacent rooms. In this Letter, We report a measurement campaign that has been carried out at 2.2 GHz on board a ferrytype boat using a wideband MIMO channel sounder [3]. A linear antenna array was used at the transmission and a rectangular antenna array at the reception.…”

International audienceThe objective of this Letter is to characterise the electromagnetic wave propagation between adjacent rooms in lower deck areas of ships. A wideband MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) channel sounder has been used to realize double directional propagation measurements at 2.2 GHz. The antenna configuration was a linear array at the transmission side and a rectangular one at the reception. The measurement data are first processed with a classic beamforming technique, then with a high resolution algorithm to extract the dominant paths. A ray-tracing based simulation tool is used to understand the measurement results. It is observed that, in spite of the metallic structure of watertight doors, wireless communication remains possible between adjacent rooms after door closure. Results show that electromagnetic waves mainly propagate through door edges openings

“…The double directional channel sounding is a useful way to determine the sources of radio leakage between adjacent decks by studying the Directions of Departures (DoD) and the Directions of Arrivals (DoA) of EM waves. The used Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channel sounder is presented in [3]. A 4-elements Uniform Circular antenna Array (UCA) is used for the Tx and a 16-elements UCA for the Rx.…”

Abstract-The objective of this paper is to characterize the electromagnetic waves propagation between adjacent decks on board a ship. First, narrowband measurements were conducted at 2.45 GHz to study the radio coverage. Then, double directional channel measurements were performed at 3.5 GHz to determine the propagation mechanisms in this hostile environment. The aim of these measurement campaigns is to find a solution to maintain the connectivity of a wireless sensor network between different decks on a ship in spite of the metallic structure of decks.

“…The channel models can be obtained by standard channel models, as the 3GPP-LTE [6] and TGn 802.11n [7], or from measurements conducted with the MIMO channel sounder designed and realized at IETR [8]. In the MIMO context, little experimental results have been obtained regarding time variations, partly due to several limitations of the channel sounding equipment [9].…”

Abstract-The hardware simulator facilitates the test and validation cycles by replicating channel artifacts in a controllable and repeatable laboratory environment. After a description of the MIMO channel models and the hardware simulator architecture, this paper presents new implementation algorithm of its digital block. The proposed algorithm allows the selection of specific environments and various scenarios, standards (LTE or WLAN 802.11ac) and Doppler speeds to implement the digital block architecture. The digital block architecture is implemented for 2×2 MIMO channel on a Xilinx Virtex-IV FPGA using batch and command line files. The occupation on the FPGA, the accuracy of the output signals and the latencies of the architecture for each configuration are then analyzed.
