Interpolation of perimeter wireless channel measurements into the measurement region

The work presented here demonstrates the feasibility of interpolating perimeter wireless channel measurements throughout a planar region. The outdoor diffraction measurements have shown that, by applying the modified CWE to a pair of closed contour measurements, one may attain an accurate approximation to the true channel without having to tediously measure everywhere in the region. Thereby, this interpolation technique allows for an accurate acquisition of the wireless channel in a fraction of the time typically required. The interpolated channel may be used as additional measurements for developing stochastic channel models or as a 2-D electric field map for investigating the physical mechanisms underlying real-world radiowave propagation.
