Radio signal propagation model in the equatorial jungle environment: A proposal to optimize telecommunication systems in hostile regions II

Abstract:

The article exposes the results of the research carried out in the Ecuadorian Amazon, which has the objective of finding a model of propagation of radio signals in this hostile environment. The work takes more interest because that jungle area has not been characterized yet and presents nonconformities in the telecommunications services. The characterization looks for a mathematical model that through a regressive adjustment can estimate more accurately the power of the received signal. The measurements in the jungle were made from signals generated by radio equipment with military standards, which guarantee the quality of the signal. Simultaneously, using electromagnetic spectrum analyzers, several teams of people in the jungle measure the power of the received signal. The probes were made in a region like dense vegetation and during the summer time, a meteorological station was used to check data. The results show that no current model accurately achieves the computation of power losses in this environment.
