Abstract(in English) Demand for wireless broadband access services in long-distance transportations, such as trains and aircrafts, continues to grow. Recently, some airlines have begun in-flight call and in-flight wireless LAN access service. The final goal of this study is to develop an accurate and reliable numerical estimation tool of electromagnetic fields distributions inside aircraft so as to advance radio link design of wireless terminals operated inside the cabin. The authors previously proposed an EMF estimation method for an aircraft based on FDTD analysis and parallel computing. The EMF distributions established in the cabin of a Boeing 777- 200ER model due to a cellular radio were evaluated. In that modeling, the wings of the aircraft were not modeled in the analysis due to the limit of computational memory capability. This paper evaluates the propagation characteristics in cabin of Boeing 777-200ER by using newly developed numerical model of the aircraft which has the wings. In order to make the correct modeling of structures with details feasible, non-uniform gridding technique is employed. EMF distributions created by a 2 GHz band wireless transmitter inside the cabin are analyzed and propagation loss characteristics are obtained.
