The article considers possible variants of application of various MIMO schemes for the communication with the drone or unmanned aerial vehicle. The model of multipath propagation of radio waves taking into account polarization parameters of antennas is given. The main focus is on the use of MIMO technology with polarization-orthogonal channels and channels with double polarization. The evaluation of the efficiency of using full polarization reception in comparison with MIMO channels of one polarization is given. Attention is paid to the presence of cross-polarization solution between the channels.

This article discusses possible bandwidth limitations of a radio access channel using MIMO technology with polarization-orthogonal channels, or dual polarization channels. The main attention is paid to the presence of cross-polarization isolation between channels, or cross-polarization relation, or Cross Polar Discrimination. The indicated ratio is determined mainly by the design features of the antennas. It is proposed to choose antennas with the minimum required values of cross-polarization ratio, which limit a given channel bandwidth.

AbstractWe studied the scattering of radio waves off strata within the ice sheet at Mizuho station, Antarctica, to determine the most plausible scattering mechanisms at this location. We measured the effects of birefringence and anisotropic scattering boundaries on the return signal using the following set of experimental conditions: (1) co-polarization and cross-polarization antenna arrangements, (2) all orientations of the antenna system, (3) 60 and 179 MHz frequencies, and (4) pulse lengths of 150–1000 ns. Analyses of the propagated radio waves suggested that the signal is dominated by anisotropic scatter-ingboundaries at 179 MHz, but effects from birefringence also occurred. At depths of 250– 750 m, the scattering was stronger when the polarization plane was along the flowline. In contrast, at depths of about 900–1500 m, scattering was stronger when the polarization plane was perpendicular to the flowline. We suggest that the scattering below about 250 m is related to a layered ice stratum of crystal-orientation fabrics with different types or different cluster strengths. Although our study was at a single site, similar remote measurements over wider regions should provide valuable information about the physical structure of this vast ice sheet.

В данной работе приведены результаты теоретического исследования взаимного влияния двух вибраторов, произвольно ориентированных в пространстве. Авторы на основе метода наведенных ЭДС определили касательную составляющую электрического поля, создаваемого одним из вибраторов в месте расположения второго. С использованием данного выражения авторы предложили три способа оценки взаимного сопротивления системы двух скрещенных симметричных вибраторов. Сравнив способы по точности вычислений и затрачиваемому машинному времени, авторы выделили один из предложенных способов для проведения модельных исследований. Особенностью предложенного способа является возможность обобщения расчетного выражения не только для случая скрещенных вибраторов, но и для случаев вибраторов, расположенных в параллельных плоскостях и перпендикулярных одной и той же прямой. Поскольку указанные случаи охватывают все возможные варианты взаимной ориентации вибраторов в конструкции логопериодической антенны двойной поляризации, то предложенный подход может быть использован при проведении модельных исследований направленных свойств логопериодической антенны и оценки уровня кросс-поляризации. The results of two arbitrarily oriented in space vibrators mutual influence theoretical study are presents in this paper. Based on the method of induced EMF, the authors determined the tangential component of the electric field created by one of the vibrators at the location of the second one. Using this expression, the authors proposed three ways to evaluate the mutual resistance of a system of two crossed symmetrical vibrators. Comparing the methods by the accuracy of calculations and the machine time spent, the authors identified one of the proposed methods for conducting model studies. A feature of the proposed method is the possibility of generalizing the calculated expression not only for the case of crossed vibrators, but also for the cases of vibrators located in parallel planes and perpendicular to the same straight line. Since these cases cover all possible variants of mutual orientation of vibrators in the construction of a logoperiodic antenna of double polarization, the proposed approach can be used in conducting model studies of directional properties of a logoperiodic antenna and assessing the level of cross-polarization.

Spain is Europe’s leading exporter of tomatoes harvested in greenhouses. The production of tomatoes should be kept and increased, supported by precision agriculture to meet food and commercial demand. The wireless sensor network (WSN) has demonstrated to be a tool to provide farmers with useful information on the state of their plantations due to its practical deployment. However, in order to measure its deployment within a crop, it is necessary to know the communication coverage of the nodes that make up the network. The multipath propagation of radio waves between the transceivers of the WSN nodes inside a greenhouse is degraded and attenuated by the intricate complex of stems, branches, leaf twigs, and fruits, all randomly oriented, that block the line of sight, consequently generating a signal power loss as the distance increases. Although the COST235 (European Cooperation in Science and Technology - COST), ITU-R (International Telecommunications Union—Radiocommunication Sector), FITU-R (Fitted ITU-R), and Weisbberger models provide an explanation of the radio wave propagation in the presence of vegetation in the 2.4 GHz ICM band, some significant discrepancies were found when they are applied to field tests with tomato greenhouses. In this paper, a novel method is proposed for determining an empirical model of radio wave attenuation for vegetation in the 2.4 GHz band, which includes the vegetation height as a parameter in addition to the distance between transceivers of WNS nodes. The empirical attenuation model was obtained applying regularized regressions with a multiparametric equation using experimental signal RSSI measurements achieved by our own RSSI measurement system for our field tests in four plantations. The evaluation parameters gave 0.948 for R2, 0.946 for R2 Adj considering 5th grade polynomial (20 parameters), and 0.942 for R2, and 0.940 for R2 Adj when a reduction of parameters was applied using the cross validation (15 parameters). These results verify the rationality and reliability of the empirical model. Finally, the model was validated considering experimental data from other plantations, reaching similar results to our proposed model.

Представлен метод анализа системы Аламоути - простейшей системы MISO, в которой для устранения интерференции лучей, приходящих в место приема, на передающем конце линии связи применяются только две передающие антенны с определенным пространственным разнесением. Метод основан на рассмотрении физических особенностей распространения радиоволн и позволяет учесть конкретные характеристики многолучевых трасс распространения между передающей и приемной станциями. Система Аламоути позволяет уменьшить флуктуации уровня сигнала, поступающего на вход демодулятора, полностью или частично устраняя интерференцию приходящих на вход приемника лучей. Получены формулы, которые позволяют оценить необходимую для обеспечения требуемой надежности приема сигналов энергетику линии связи, влияние расположения передающих антенн по отношению к трассе распространения радиоволн (вдоль или поперек трассы), а также величину необходимого пространственного разнесения передающих антенн, при котором может быть обеспечена максимально возможная помехоустойчивость приема сигналов. The paper offers the method of analysis of the Alamouti system, the simplest MISO system in which at the transmitting end of the communication line only two transmitting antennas with a certain spatial diversity are used to eliminate the interference of the rays arriving at the receiving site. The method is based on the study of the physical features of radio wave propagation and allows taking into account the specific characteristics of multipath propagation paths between the transmitting and receiving stations. The Alamouti system allows the reduction of fluctuations in the level of the signal entering the input of the demodulator, completely or partially eliminating the interference of the rays coming to the input of the receiver. The paper offers formulas that allow us to estimate the energy of the communication line, necessary to ensure the required reliability of signal reception, the influence of the location of the transmitting antennas relative to the propagation path of the radio waves (along or across the track), as well as the amount of necessary spatial diversity of the transmitting antennas at which the maximum possible noise immunity of signal reception can be ensured.
