Abstract

New results of radio wave propagation effects in indoor environments for mobile and personal communications are presented. Complex impulse responses and their spatial variations when shifting the mobile antenna were measured with a very high time dispersion resolution. Measured results are compared to results derived from model calculations, using the geometrical description of the environment. The high resolution of the measurement system allows via the scattering function a very detailed analysis of the wave propagation process. This is demonstrated for propagation in a regular corridor (simple cubic geometries). The influence of metallic scatterers in producing multiple reflections like in a large waveguide is shown
