Wideband radio propagation measurements have been performed in Dallas (Texas, USA) with special emphasis on specular reflections from high-rise buildings as they typically appear in downtown areas of major US cities. The measurements were carried out at 908 MHz with the RCS 900 channel sounder, developed by Swiss PTT. Specular reflections of groups of high-rise buildings and in the vicinity of isolated buildings were measured. The results are presented both in form of impulse responses and in a statistical manner along the chosen routes. It is found that reflections may give rise to two types of problems: They can cause considerable time spreads in a cell and significant signal levels in areas that are normally regarded as belonging to other cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
