Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Electrical Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
This thesis presents intra-vehicular channel characterization results in the 5 GHz band, for four general purpose aviation aircraft and two automobiles – a van and a bus. With the enormous growth in the field of wireless networking, and the growing need of people to be connected wirelessly, the scarcity of research results for intra-vehicular wireless channel characteristics in the 5 GHz band motivated this research. Measurements were taken in aircraft within the Ohio University airport hangar and in the automobiles in parking lots around the university. Measurement results for a 50 MHz channel bandwidth were used to estimate channel parameters and to develop channel models that could be used in building reliable communication systems for the intra-vehicular channel. The root-mean square delay spread (RMS-DS) values ranged between 10-50 ns for different intra-vehicle channels, with mean RMS-DS values falling between 16-23 ns for automobiles and between 23-29 ns for airplanes. The standard deviations for the RMS-DS statistics were between 2-11 ns. The RMS-DS values were seen to increase with increase in the size of the vehicles and transmitter-receiver distances.
