Completed Maurice R.J.A.E. Kwakkernaat website Title: Characterizing Angular Propagation Effects of Radiowaves in Mobile Radio Channels Description: Multi-antenna techniques are an important solution for signi cantly increasing the bandwidth efficiency of wireless data transmission systems. Efficient and reliable design of these multi-antenna systems requires thorough knowledge of the radiowave propagation in the cellular environment. Therefore, the aim of the project is to obtain a better physical understanding of radiowave propagation in mobile radio channels and to improve radiowave propagation prediction for urban environments using knowledge from 3-D propagation experiments and simulations combined with space-wave modeling. In particular, the project focusses on: The implementation and evaluation of an advanced 3-D mobile channel sounding system, obtaining propagation measurement data from mobile radio wave propagation experiments, analysis of the measurement data obtained from mobile radio channel measurements and modeling of small scale propagation mechanisms for the improvement of propagation prediction models. On December 10th 2008 Maurice Kwakkernaat defended his PhD entitled "Angular Dispersion of Radio Waves in Mobile Channels Measurements based Analysis and Modeling". [see News item ]
