Time delay spread at 2.1 GHz around regular and chaflane street corners for microcellular communications

A ray tracing model based on the application of the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) and geometrical optics (GO) for modeling the propagation in the microcellular urban scenarios has been implemented. This model has been used to analyze the behavior of the RMS delay spread while turning a corner in two street-corner environments - regular and chaflane street corners. The study of the environment of the two corners shows that there exist important differences between both street corners.
