  • Abstract
    We use Wireless InSite® to calculate the attenuation of an RF signal at GHz for various tunnel diameters and shapes. The attenuation is calculated at 2.4 GHz and a Weibull distribution is found that fits the propagation model. The propagation characteristics in our examples follow a Rician distribution.
