Description
Summary:With the development of ultrahigh-voltage transmission lines in China, the reradiation interference caused by the steel tower used in ultrahigh-voltage transmission becomes increasingly aggravating for nearby radio stations. In this paper, using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm, the reradiation interference of an ultrahigh-voltage transmission steel tower is investigated. Additionally, the reradiation interference characteristics of a transmission steel tower were investigated with various frequencies and azimuth angles of incidence wave. The results show that the frequency and the azimuth angle of incident wave are the impact factors for the reradiation interference of steel towers. It is better to use a detailed angle steel model for the truss structure of steel towers at high frequency, while a simplified structural model can be used at low frequency. Additionally, the diffraction at the edge of the angle steel has a great influence on the reradiation interference, particularly at high frequencies.
