• Farm areas feature isolated clusters of scatterers
• Material properties may change with frequency. (For our simulations, we assume material properties constant over frequency.) In addition, the outdoor channel is subject to environmental changes– Seasonal changes (snow, ice, etc. in some
regions)– Rain/wet conditions

Approach
• Use deterministic 3-D ray tracing simulator - Employs
– geometric optics– uniform theory of diffraction (UTD)
– Generates• Received signal strength• Ray statistics (path length/delay)• Signal descriptors include frequency, polarization, etc.
• UWB channel sounding is achieved by superposition of NB channel sounding
- Conventional channel sounding
- FCC emissions mask scaled channel sounding

Summary and Conclusions
UWB Ray Tracing:• Ray tracing with realistic antennas and appropriate material properties was
implemented.• Analyses included all ray statistics/parameters (ray physics).• CIR of UWB channel is found by superposition of CIR of individual bands
with appropriate power weighting.
Channel Modeling Results:• 5-band approach is adequate for predicting outdoor coverage in farm
scenario as verified by prior two-ray modeling.• “High-pass” sounding yields most conservative results.• RF parameters appear almost insensitive to ground material/conditions.• 100m range achievable with -90dBm RX sensitivity.• CIR is similar to that of two-ray model. RMS delay depends on location of
antenna and statistics of the rays.• Two-ray statistics are verified to have Rayleigh distribution.

Material PropertiesPellat-Debye Equations for loss at single relaxation time. Real permittivity exhibits low-
pass frequency response. Imaginary part exhibits band-pass response. Regions can be separated for different relaxation times.
Temperature effects are not modeled, but only affected by change in density of dielectric material.
