The diffuse multipath component and multipath component visibility

This work studies the effect of spatial variation of the multipath structure on the diffuse multipath component (DMC). The DMC is quantified in simulated and measured channels, using two versions of SAGE. Using a `classic´ implementation of SAGE, the DMC increases as the visibility regions of multipath components decrease in size. An implementation of SAGE that takes into account visibility regions of multipath components achieves lower DMC over both simulated and measured channels.
