Multipath Characterization of Micro and Macrocellular Environments for Mobile Radio Systems

A factor in designing the future personal mobile radio systems is undoubtedly a comprehensive knowledge about propagation characteristics over different types of environments. Propagation studies are therefore essential as these studies will lead to channel models and statistical parameters which could be used to design intelligent systems. The transmitted signal most often reaches the receiver through more than one paths resulting in a phenomenon known as multipath fading. If we characterize the channel well, the sitting of the transmitter can be selected to achieve good propagation performance and better connectivity along-with appropriate equalizers at the receiver end. In this paper we studied the multipath in a micro and macrocellular environment using channel sounding method for characterization creating a power delay profile of a communication channel.
