EGR 279 - Radio Propagation for Modern Wireless Systems

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Engineering

Description:

Review of techniques for predicting radio propagation. Sophisticated propagation models with comparisons to field measurements. Examples from both narrowband and wideband systems. Topics covered include: radio-wave propagation for the wireless channel; effects of buildings, terrain, and foliage on path loss; unified view of key propagation effects in narrowband and wideband systems including spatial variation, angle of arrival and delay spread; diffraction at building corners; mobile-to-mobile path loss in cities; parabolic-wave-equation analysis of long-range propagation in naturally occurring environments; and simulations of fast fading and shadow loss.
