RF Field Build-Up inside a Manned Space Vehicle Using Novel Ray-Tracing Algorithm

Figure 9

(a) RF field build-up inside a metal-backed dielectric (𝜀_𝑟=10−𝑗5; 𝑑=5 mm) space vehicle. Frequency = 8 GHz; polarization: perpendicular. (Though the field is normalized, the 𝑦-axis considered is only up to 0.20 to facilitate closer scrutiny of the plots.) (b) RF field build-up inside a metal-backed dielectric (𝜀_𝑟=10−𝑗5; 𝑑=5 mm) space vehicle. Frequency = 8 GHz; polarization: parallel. (Though the field is normalized, the 𝑦-axis considered is only up to 0.20 to facilitate closer scrutiny of the plots.)
