Abstract :
The results of a new simulation technique, which will lead to a better understanding of radiowave propagation in complex environments, are presented. The simulator is based on a full wave method, namely the FDTD technique, combined with array signal processing. It can clearly show the angle of arrival (AOA) and time delay spread for radiowaves propagating in complex environments
