Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science, Miami University, Computational Science and Engineering.
This thesis presents a theoretical analysis and modeling results of using Ultra-Wideband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) signaling for ad-hoc, non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) communication. Adaptive, multi-functional radar signal design has recently been an active area of research with the intention to achieve dual radar-communication functionality while remaining covert. This kind of versatile RF system would allow for massive size, weight, and power savings, enable use in highly cluttered environments, and be capable of adapting to its environment. In adverse environments, where line-of-sight (LOS) transmission cannot always be assured, the inherent reflectivity of the target scene can be exploited to achieve a multi-modal communication network. A study of the communication effectiveness of NLOS signal propagation was performed. It was found that increasing clutter negatively impacts NLOS communication performance. This effect was most noticeable when there were many strong reflectors in the target scene. It was also found that in urban environments, communication performance was best when transmitting at 45° relative to the grid layout of the streets.
