Abstract The result of the theoretical analysis of the electric field strength generated by a moving signal source is presented in this paper. The wave equation with source function taking a signal source motion into consideration is the basis of the analysis problem. To solve of the wave equation we have applied integral transformations i.e., the Laplace transform (with respect to normalized time variable) and the Fourier transform (with respect to space variables). The solution form of the analysis problem has been constructed as following: at first, we use the Cagniard-de Hoop’s method to calculate the inverse Fourier transform and next we apply inverse Laplace transform. As a numerical example, the influence of the velocity and the space location of a transmitter motion trajectory on the Doppler frequency is presented. Ó 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The characteristic of the mobile communications is continual change of the transmitters and receivers location. Signal source motion results in changes of the received signal parameters – especially its frequency. This phenomena is called the Doppler effect. The solution of the Maxwell equations (taking into consideration stationary space conditions of the system transmitter–receiver) is the basis of the analytic description of the Doppler effect in the electrodynamics. In classic approach to this problem, the formula describing the electric field strength for a far-field region is applied to description of the signal source motion effect. The electric field strength in the case of the half wavelength dipole as an antenna is given by (cf. [1–3])

where f0 is the signal frequency, b ¼ 2p ¼ 2p fc0 is the wave number (k – wavelength, c – speed of light), l0 is the k magnetic permeability of free-space, h is the elevation angle, I0 is the amplitude of the antenna current and r denotes distance (in general) between transmitter and receiver. Therefore the phase angle U(t) is following UðtÞ ¼ 2pf0 t  br

whereas when the transmitter is covering a distance Dr, the phase of the received signal can be represented as UðtÞ ¼ 2pf0 t  bðr  DrÞ

(‘‘+’’ the signal source moves away the receiver, ‘‘–’’ the signal source moves towards the receiver). In the case of the constant velocity v, the displacement of the signal source amounts to Dr = v Æ t. Thus, the offset of a signal frequency is described by the following expression (cf. [4])   1 d d 1 v v f ðtÞ ¼ UðtÞ ¼ f0  t  br  t ¼ f0  ð4Þ 2p dt dt 2p k k If the receiving site is situated at an angle u with respect to the motion direction of the signal source, then (cf. [5,6]) v f ðtÞ ¼ f0  cos u ð5Þ k The frequency fD ¼ kv cos u is called the Doppler frequency. Using the above equations we can obtain the analytic description of a frequency offset as a function of a transmitter–receiver location in space. The approximate expression describing the frequency offset with respect to space co-ordinates is presented in [7]. As you can see the analytic description of the Doppler effect is based on the solution of the Maxwell equations taking stationary space conditions of the system transmitter–receiver into consideration. In our paper we shall present the way to solve the Maxwell equations in the case of a signal source motion with a constant velocity. In this case the electric far-field strength is obtained by following methodology. Basing on the Maxwell equations, taking into account a signal source motion we get the vector wave equation of the electric field strength. To solve this wave equation we apply integral transformations i.e., the Laplace transform (with respect to normalized time variable) and the Fourier transform (with respect to space variables). Final solution form of the analysis problem we construct as follows: first, we use the Cagniard-de Hoop’s method to calculate the inverse Fourier transform and then we apply inverse Laplace transform. The analytic form of the obtained solution makes possible assessment of a received signal parameters change as a result of a moving transmitter. In particular, it concerns the frequency offset of a received signal. Numerical example of the frequency offset as a function of the transmitter location and motion parameters in some air-to-ground mobile communication system is presented in our paper. 2. Statement of the problem The propagation of electromagnetic wave in free space is examined in our paper. Basing on the Faraday and the Ampere equations as well as on the property of a vector field double rotation, we get a wave equation describing vector of the electric field strength E(x, t) = (Ex(x, t), Ey(x, t), Ez(x, t)) in the following form  2  1 o2 o o2 o2 o Eðx; tÞ  Eðx; tÞ þ Eðx; tÞ þ Eðx; tÞ ¼ l0 i0 ðx; tÞ ð6Þ c2 ot2 ot ox2 oy 2 oz2 where i0(x, t) = (ix(x, t), iy(x, t), iz(x, t),) is the current density vector (distribution of current in antenna – source of the electromagnetic field) and x = (x, y, z) is the three-dimensional space co-ordinates. It is easy to see that the calculation of the electric field strength E(x, t) requires solving the system of the wave equations. In order to simplify the analysis we shall concentrate on the linear antenna system, i.e., we assume that the current density vector has the following form i0(x, t) = (0, 0, iz(x, t) = i0(z, t)d(x)d(y)), where d(Æ) is the Dirac distribution. Additionally, we assume the stationary conditions of the current propagation in the antenna, i.e., we pass over the transient state. Therefore the distribution of the current density amplitude

180

along antenna is invariable in time. Hence, we can write i0(z, t) = I(z)i0(t), where I(z) denotes the distribution of the current density amplitude along the antenna and i0(t) describes a change of the current density in time. In view of the above assumptions the wave equation has the following form  2  1 o2 o o2 o2 o Eðx; tÞ  Eðx; tÞ þ 2 Eðx; tÞ þ 2 Eðx; tÞ ¼ l0 iz ðx; tÞ ð7Þ c2 ot2 ot ox2 oy oz where E(x,t) = Ez(x,t). In our paper we shall concentrate on the assessment of a signal source motion influence on the received signal parameters. Taking the above assumptions into consideration, we will examine a signal source motion along x-axis with velocity ~ v ¼ ðvx ¼ v; 0; 0Þ. Space structure of the analysed problem is shown in Fig. 1. In this case we have o o iz ðx; tÞ ¼ ðIðzÞ  i0 ðtÞdðx  vtÞdðyÞÞ ot ot where oto ðÞ is the differential operator in the distribution sense. Thus the analytic description of the analysed problem is given by following equation  2  1 o2 o o2 o2 o Eðx; tÞ  Eðx; tÞ þ Eðx; tÞ þ Eðx; tÞ ¼ l0 IðzÞ  ði0 ðtÞ  dðx  vtÞÞ  dðyÞ c2 ot2 ot ox2 oy 2 oz2

The aim of our paper is to construct the solution E(x, t) (the electric field strength) of the above equation as well as analysis of property its parameters, especially the frequency. The solution of Eq. (9) will be carried out in two steps. At first, we will find the fundamental solution of this equation. Next, the solution of the analysing problem will be obtained by the convolution of the fundamental solution with the right hand side of Eq. (9) i.e., the function describing space distribution of a current density. 3. Construction of the fundamental solution In the first step we shall find the fundamental solution Eðx; tÞ of Eq. (9). For a start, we apply a new system variables, namely x0 = (x0, x1, x2, x3) where x0 = ct, x1 = x  vt, x2 = y, x3 = z and we use following denotations Eðx; tÞ ¼ Eðx; y; z; tÞ ¼ V ðx0 ; x1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ ¼ V ðx0 Þ In a new system of variables the found fundamental solution V(x0) satisfies the following equation

where k ¼ vc is the ratio between the signal source velocity and the speed of electromagnetic wave. 3.1. Fundamental solution of the Laplace transform and the Fourier transform We calculate the solution of Eq. (10) by means of the integral transformations. We apply the Laplace transform in relation to the variable x0 as well as Fourier transform in relation to the x2 and x3. Let V ðn0 Þ and Vb ðnÞ denote the Laplace and the Fourier transform of the V(x0) and V ðn0 Þ function, respectively, i.e., Z 1 V ðn0 Þ ¼ V ðn0 ; x1 ; x2 ; x3 Þ ¼ LfV ðx0 Þg ¼ V ðx0 ; x1 ; x2 ; x3 ; Þen0 x0 dx0 ð11Þ 0

where n = (n0, x1, n2, n3) is a multidimensional variable, n2 = (n2, n3) denotes a parameter of the two-dimensional Fourier transform and x2 = (x2, x3).

Taking into account the above expressions we calculate the integration constants of the solution (16). 3.2. Fundamental solution of the analysis problem In order to obtain the fundamental solution of Eq. (9) we make use of the expression (16) as well as of inverse Fourier and Laplace transforms. The inverse Fourier transform is calculated by applying the Cagniard-de Hoop’s method (cf. [12]). Example of practical usage of this method (for analysis of a microstrip problem) was presented in [13]. The form of the inverse Fourier transform (with respect to variables n2 and n3) is expressed as follows Z Z 1 Z 1 1 1 1 b b iðn2 ;x2 Þ V ðn0 Þ ¼ F n2 f V ðnÞg ¼ 2 V ðnÞe dn2 ¼ 2 Vb ðn0 ; x1 ; n2 ; n3 Þeiðn2 x2 þn3 x3 Þ dn2 dn3 ð20Þ 4p RR 4p 1 1 Taking it into account we obtain pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi  n20 þð1k 2 Þðn22 þn23 Þ Z 1 Z 1 H ðx1 Þ  exp x1 1k 2 1 q ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ffi V ðn0 Þ ¼ eiðn2 x2 þn3 x3 Þ dn2 dn3   2  4p2 1 1 2 2 2 n0 þ 1  k n2 þ n3  pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi  kn0 þ n20 þð1k 2 Þðn22 þn23 Þ Z 1 Z 1 H ðx1 Þ  exp x1 1k 2 1 q ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ffi þ 2 eiðn2 x2 þn3 x3 Þ dn2 dn3 4p 1 1 2 2 2 2 n0 þ ð1  k Þðn2 þ n3 Þ

In order to calculate the above integrals we apply the de Hoop’s transform in the following form (cf. [9,10]) n2 x2 þ n3 x3 ¼ n0 qðx2 Þp

Using the Cagniard’s method we replace the integral along real axis p by the integral over a suitably chosen contour C (cf. Fig. 2). The integrals over way C+ and C vanish in view of the Jordan Lemma, and also, the residual term and the contribution coming from the integrand branch point located over the contour C (see Fig. 2) are equal zero. Taking the above notice into consideration the double integral (26) can be expressed as follows Z 1 Z 1 n en0 g rffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ffi dgdq V ðn0 Þ ¼ 02 ð29Þ  2 4p 1 g1 1þq2 ð1k 2 Þ 2 k g  1k2 x1  R1 ðx1 ; x2 Þ ð1k2 Þ2 where g1 is the lower limit of the integration with respect to variable g and equals qffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 1 þ q2 ð1  k 2 Þ k g1 ¼ x þ R ðx ; x Þ 1 1 1 2 1  k2 1  k2 After the iteration of the above integrations Eq.

In our paper we concentrate on one elementary case of a signal source. We assume that the antenna is supplied by a harmonic signal.

Hence, we notice that the value of the Doppler frequency fD(x, t) depends not only on a signal source velocity and a carrier frequency but also space location of a motion trajectory. The Doppler frequency fD(x, t) is linear function of the frequency carrier, whereas the dependence on velocity and space co-ordinates has a more complex character. 5. Numerical example of the Doppler frequency calculation The influence of the velocity and the transmitter–receiver space location on value of the Doppler frequency is presented in this part of our paper. We concentrate on the example of the air-to-ground mobile communi-

cations where the change of the transmitter–receiver space location concerns big altitudes. The numerical calculations were conducted for a line-of-sight region. In this case we considered the space co-ordinates y and z as a constant parameter of the motion. Space structure model for analysis of the motion influence on the Doppler frequency is shown in Fig. 3. We assumed that the first space co-ordinate of the receiver is x = 5000 m and the signal frequency is f0 = 900 MHz. Fig. 4 shows the three-dimensional plot of the Doppler frequency fD versus vt and y where vt denotes the value of the transmitter–receiver distance, and y is the height of the aircraft flight. Fig. 5 shows the Doppler frequency versus distance vt for some heights of the aircraft flight. In this case the curves in Fig. 5 are suitable intersections of the three-dimensional plot shown in Fig. 4. The influence of an aircraft velocity on the Doppler frequency offset is presented in Figs. 6 and 7. Fig. 6 shows the three-dimensional plot of the Doppler frequency fD versus distance vt and velocity v. Fig. 7 shows the Doppler frequency fD versus distance vt for some velocities of the aircraft flight. In this case the curves in Fig. 7 are suitable intersections of the three-dimensional plot shown in Fig. 6. In Figs. 4–7 we present the results when aircraft flies exactly above the site of the receiver location i.e. orthogonal project of the flight trajectory to the ground area includes the point of a receiver location. Next two figures present numerical calculation results for the case when a trajectory of the aircraft flight goes near a receiver location site. The influence of a distance between the receiver location point and the aircraft trajec-

Summary and conclusions The detailed mathematical analysis of a transmitter motion influence on received signal parameters especially the Doppler frequency has been presented in this paper. The calculation of the dependence describing the electric field strength generated by moving signal source has been the main aim of our analysis. On the basis of the obtained formula we can carry out an assessment of a received signal frequency offset in time and space. Namely following three categories of the parameters influence the Doppler frequency value: space parameter (co-ordinates of a receiver location site), motion parameter (velocity of a signal source), signal parameter (signal frequency). In the characteristics presented in Section 5 we can distinguish three fundamental ranges: the range of a maximum value, the range of dynamic changes, the range of a minimum value. The influence of individual parameter on running of the Doppler frequency characteristics is diverse. Namely, the mutual location of a signal source-receiver influences the slope of the Doppler characteristic in the range of dynamic changes. The increase of a distance from a transmitter motion trajectory to a receiver location site

decreases a slope of the frequency offset plot. However motion and signal parameters determine minimum and maximum value of the Doppler frequency, i.e., the increase of the velocity and carrier frequency values causes increases of the frequency offset range. One-dimensional distribution of a current density in antenna has been considered in our paper but presented methodology has a universal character. In a case of two- or three-dimensional distribution the analysed problem requires solving system equations by using presented methodology with reference to each equation. In this case, taking the analytic form of an analysis signal into consideration, the resultant solution is sum of the component solutions. In order to describe the Doppler effect occurring in mobile communications we put simplified formula into practice. This approximation is based on solution of the Maxwell equations taking stationary space conditions of the system transmitter–receiver into consideration. In this case the Doppler frequency can be estimated by the expressions (4) or (5). In most mobile communications we observe relation c  v, i.e., k 1. Thus, in this case estimation mistake is negligible. But applying the formula (51) to describe the Doppler effect we can investigate influence of the space, motion and signal parameters on a received signal frequency offset. Furthermore, in mobile communications where objects move with high velocity (for example in satellite communications, radio-astronomy) the exact formula (51) describing the Doppler frequency is required. Finally, we want to notice that the solving methodology of the signal source motion problem, described in our paper has an universal character. This method presented here can be applied to all branches of the classic physics. For example very interesting results for this problem are expected in the acoustics where parameter k achieves difference value with reference to 1.
