Radio Transparency Control of Road Electromagnetic Barriers for C-V2X Communications

This paper presents the study of a multi-layered timber barrier of periodically arranged logs with the purpose of enhancing the electromagnetic (EM) shielding or transparency to radio propagation through the fine-tuning of the barrier's parameters for applications in road electromagnetic barriers. Simulations were performed and analysed in 5.9 GHz band, where spacing between centre of wooden poles is parametrised in a EM simulation environment. Such tunable EM fence may find applications in roads where C-V2X communications are subject to high EM interference or low radio propagation exposures, which are intended to be controlled.
