Abstract :
The electromagnetic wave propagation in passenger cars has been studied by means of simplified models for cabin and interior as well as for passengers. The simulations have been performed using the "Finite Integration Time Domain" (FITD) method. The results serve for the determination of suitable base station antenna positions for wireless incar communication systems avoiding the need for time consuming end expensive measurement campaigns.
