Abstract :
A procedure of measurement and analysis for the UWB channel in underground mines is presented. The measured data is saved in the frequency-domain via a vector network analyzer (VNA). We first compare two methods for the analysis of the path loss dependence on frequency. Then, we present results from an autoregressive modeling technique. We show that a two pole model is sufficient to represent the characteristics of the UWB channel in underground mines. This work was carried out by the underground communications research laboratory LRCS1, and the CANMET (Canadian Center for Minerals and Energy Technology) experimental mine in Val-d´Or, Canada.
