Abstract

This paper presents a 3D simulation software of radiowave propagation for mobile systems in outdoor and indoor environments. The software allows us to predict the coverage zone of a base station and the behaviour of the transmission channel. After a brief recall of the radio channel characteristics for narrowband and wideband signals, the theoretical basis of our model and applications are described. Different results provided by our software are proposed : the evolution of the received power on a mobile route, the delay spread and the correlation bandwidth. To evaluate the capability of our software for the prediction of the previous parameters, measurements in outdoor and indoor environments are considered as a reference
