Análisis comparativo sobre los sistemas leaky feeder y das para la transmisión de voz y datos hacia el interior de minas subterráneas.

This work, prior to opting for the professional title of Engineer in Electronics and Telecommunications, includes a brief overview on the generalities of mining, underground mines, history of underground communication and electromagnetic waves. Additionally, a study has been carried which relates to Leaky Feeder (Feeder with leaks) and DAS (Distributed Antenna System) systems which are in high demand when it comes to wireless voice and data coverage in the interior of confined environments , such as underground mines. This paper also includes a comparative analysis between the two systems, so as to distinguish the most relevant characteristics of each, in addition to what would be the preferred system in case of a possible deployment in the underground mines located in the province of El Oro – Ecuador. In order to achieve this, the technical assistance of Engineer Ivan Puglla, a technical consultant of the mining concession MURCIELAGOS VIZCAYA code 439, located in the Southern Region of Ecuador in the El Portete sector of Zaruma in the province of El Oro, was requested. The results of this work include a study that determines what system best suits the environment of these mines and also an example of the design itself. This paper ends with the respective conclusions and recommendations in addition to the relevant annexes. KEYWORDS: Mining, radiofrequency, Leaky Feeder, DAS, radiating cable, fiber optic, antenna.
