Abstract:
The global move towards mobile wireless communications is necessitating the development of efficient spectrum utilisation strategies. Effective spectrum sharing is a key issue, and requires an understanding of the mechanisms by which radiowaves propagate in real environments. A research project on radiowave propagation modelling for future wireless communications services being undertaken within the Radio Systems Group at The University of Auckland, New Zealand is described. A programme of experimental measurements of scaled building models (at appropriately scaled frequencies) is being performed to gain insight into the mechanisms by which radiowaves propagate in real environments. Several results are presented to illustrate the use of the technique
