Abstract

This paper presents a 3D-RT simulator which allows indoor radio wave propagation modeling for multi-standard systems, including UWB. It focuses on the issue of simulation of deterministic radio channel with realistic antenna behavior. Vector Spherical Harmonics (VSH) expansion of antenna radiation vector function is used to have efficient data access, good compression factor, and fast waveform reconstruction.
