Abstract

The radio wave propagation model in granary can provide technical support for the design and application of wireless grain situation monitoring and foreign-body detection in granary. The propagation of radio waves in granary with wheat is studied in this paper. Firstly, transmitting and receiving antennas are fixed in grain bulk. Then the parameters of multipath delay and received power at receiver are calculated by using ray-tracing algorithm, and the wave propagation model is established. The results show that only the direct and one-reflection paths of larger amplitude are considered in the wheat grain bulk. Finally, the path losses of simulation at different distances are compared with the theoretical value of the literature, the accuracy of the simulation results is verified and the effect of reflection is reflected.
