  • Efficient radio wave coverage in confined space is one of the foundation factors to guarantee quality and reliability of communication which is important for the layout and optimization of the antenna system. However, the existing researches rarely consider the effect of the antenna parameters on field coverage in confined space. The research status and methods of radio wave coverage in confined space, aimed at railway tunnel, were reviewed. Then the deterministic models for field coverage prediction in the railway tunnel were adopted which were ray tracing method, modal method and parabolic equation method. By combining these methods, the effect of the antenna beam width, beam direction and fixed position in the cross section of the tunnel were analyzed. Then the field coverage characteristics in different regions were analyzed. At last, a three slopes propagation model was proposed for studying the field coverage characteristics in confined space. The method and model can provide the theoretical basis and a reference for antenna design and layout optimization in the tunnels.
