Theoretical prediction of UHF propagation within office buildings

Implementation of wireless LAN systems inside buildings requires the understanding of UHF propagation. Measurements give some insight into the problem, but a theoretical model of the propagation effects is needed if measurements made in one building are to be applied to another. The paper explores how the design of modern buildings influences propagation between a transmitter and a receiver located on the same floor. The influence of the building design is modeled in a computer program that evaluates the sector average signal, which is then compared with measurements
