Abstract :
Detailed characterization of radio propagation channels is a major requirement for the successful design of mobile communication systems. In this paper, a mobile radio channel characterization process based on the FDTD method is presented. The merits and demerits of the currently used methods, namely the impulse-response method and ray-tracing methods, are briefly discussed. The total field formulation of the FDTD method is discussed. The simulation model consists of streets with concrete buildings. The received signals at the same LOS and OOS locations are presented
