Abstract :
Techniques such as beam-forming use the property that energy transmitted by a mobile reaches the base station with a small angle aperture. This paper examines that property from experimental data from different environments. Examples and angular statistical results are given. Finally, a wideband multi-sensor propagation model based on a REVAL model is proposed for the urban environments
