| Summary: | Body-proximate telecommunications devices are examined in both direct and multipath propagation. The study begins with a characterization of standard field strength sensitivity measurement methods for body-proximate telecommunications devices. Original measurements on a group of anthropometrically diverse people reveal that human adults, in a standard pose, are remarkably similar with respect to belt worn sensitivity performance, which motivates and justifies the use of an existing and a newly introduced light weight simulated human body device for testing, analysis and optimization of body worn telecommunications devices. Standard measurement methods using standard open air test ranges are established and validated by international transfers of measurements. The study extends to optimization of telecommunications devices in multipath, and particularly to the diversity reception of signals. A novel signal simulation model is introduced which includes multipath and shadowing, and is validated against both theoretical statistics and measurements. The signal simulation model is extended to characterize polarization randomization and cross-coupling based on an urban generalization of building height to street width ratio. The model is used to analyze measurements of polarization randomization of signals originating from an airborne transmitter flying a path whose geometry is consistent with low earth orbiting communications satellites. | |
