3D Model of a Spiral Antenna System Embedded in a Load-Bearing Wall

A 3-D discretized model of the unit cell for a spiral antenna system embedded into a building's load-bearing wall, supplementing a journal publication. The model is provided in .STP format for import into CAD software, with material properties calculated using the ITU-R P.2040-2 model. The dataset was created by Lauri Vähä-Savo of Aalto University.

Use Cases

• Simulating electromagnetic performance of embedded antennas based on the provided 3D geometry and material parameters.
• Conducting thermal analysis of antenna systems within building envelopes using the specified material thermal properties.
• Importing the CAD model into commercial simulation software for structural or multi-physics studies.
• Validating or extending the findings of the associated IEEE journal publication on distributed antennas in walls.

Strengths

• The 3D model is provided in the standardized .STP (ISO 10303-21:2016) format, ensuring compatibility with most commercial CAD software.
• Material electrical and thermal parameters are explicitly provided in a separate file (materials.txt).
• The wall's dielectric properties are calculated using a recognized international model (ITU-R P.2040-2).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and overall dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
