A linear model of transmission coefficients for placement of monopole antennas on electrically large cylindrical surfaces

Based on the ray analysis of monopole excitation, this work proposes a linear model of transmission coefficients against the logarithm of the distance between monopole antennas on electrically large cylindrical surfaces. The linear model is determined by using two sample data, and it is then used to predict the transmission coefficient between two monopole antennas. Given the desired level of transmission coefficient, the distance between monopole antennas can be calculated using the linear spatial model, which is useful for the placement of monopole antennas on electrically large cylindrical surfaces. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed linear model.
