M. Lienard et al., REMARKS ON THE COMPUTATION OF THE PROPAGA TION OF HIGH-FREQUENCY WAVES IN A TUNNEL, Annales des telecommunications, 52(9-10), 1997, pp. 529-533
The theoretical study of the propagation of high frequency waves in co
nfined areas is usually based on a ray theory. In the special case of
a tunnel or of a very long corridor, simplifying hypotheses are usuall
y introduced for the field calculation. The objective of this paper is
to quantify the error and thus to predict the validity of such approx
imations.
