Electromagnetic profiling of a double decked bus using a scale model

This paper introduces the study of electromagnetic profiling for electrically large structures using scale models and outlines the study and use of radio frequency propagation and power distribution internally from a double decked bus to an external receiver. A scale model study of a double decked bus, examining the effect of antenna placement and internal structures within the bus on the propagation and power distribution of an omni-directional source is performed. Measurements on the scaled bus model were performed in a fully automated near field scanner and the results are compared.
