Abstract :
In this paper, an efficient ray tracing model is developed for ultra wideband (UWB) indoor environments. The ray tracing model is founded and used to simulate the propagation environment of a typical office. A time domain approach is used to determine all propagation paths. The time and spatial properties of the UWB channel are presented well by using ray tracing, which include RMS, distribution of ray energy and channel impulse response. Hence, the model is suitable to rapidly evaluate UWB channel characteristics in indoor environments with different input signals
