Abstract

The Modal Transmission-Line (MTL) method is used to analyse the shielding effectiveness of building walls, which is an important parameter for the accurate planning of microcellular mobile networks. For that, the buildings walls are modelled as multi-layer periodic structures. After a description of the extended MTL-theory, the newly developed MTLmethod is applied to reinforced-concrete and block-concrete walls. From a comparison of MTL-results with previously published theoretical results, obtained by the Finite Element Method (FEM) for reinforced-concrete walls, it is concluded that the MTL-method is very well suited, because it is accurate as well as computational time efficient.
