Abstract :
Results are presented of high-resolution time delay and angle-of-arrival measurements behind a large building in an urban microcell. It is demonstrated that in this particular case the electromagnetic field is dominated by contributions resulting from transmission through the building. The associated loss over free-space loss is <30 dB. This makes clear the importance of modelling propagation through buildings surrounding the base station in the planning stage of urban microcells
