Abstract

Digital mobile radio systems suffer severe multipath fading in urban areas. It necessitates radio environment evaluation for system design. A multipath delay profile prediction system without any field measurement has been realized on a workstation. The applied method is purely theoretical and assumes a direct-diffracted wave from transmitting antenna, and the waves scattered on the walls visible from transmitting antenna as incident waves at a receiving point. Comparison with measured results shows good agreement
