Abstract

The bit error rate performance for high-speed personal communication service in tunnels with and without traffic is investigated. The impulse response of the tunnel is computed by shooting and bouncing ray/image techniques. Binary data with phase shift keying modulation are transmitted over the multipath channel and coherent match filters are used as receivers. The bit error rate for communication in tunnels with and without traffic is calculated. Numerical results have showed that the multipath effect by the vehicles in the tunnel is an important factor for bit error rate performance. In addition, the effect of space diversity techniques on mitigating the multipath fading is also investigated
