Application of the Feature Selective Validation Method to Test Site Evaluation

摘要

IEEE Standard 1597.1 calls out the Feature Selective Validation (FSV) method to validate computational electromagnetics model solutions. This method can be used to compare any two data sets, and in this paper it is used in the application of evaluating a 3 m test site. Two comparisons are made; the first shows how the measured performance of a 3 m open area test site agrees to the expected normalized site attenuation. As well as providing an insight to the use of FSV, the use of a well documented set of data will help provide a good sense of what the FSV outputs mean to a wide range of engineers. In the second part of the paper, FSV is applied to the evaluation of the results obtained from an FDTD model of a 3 m test site. It is shown that FSV is a powerful tool for judging the real performance of a test site.
