Support Material for the Radio Wave Propagation 2008/2009 course from the integrated master degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering froum IST. General Objectives This course intends to complement basic information on telecommunications previously received by the students. It introduces the physical mechanisms along with theoretical models for a proper characterisation of the propagation channel. This subject is relevant for understanding and designing all types of wireless systems, taking into account the effect of terrain, obstacles, vegetation, atmosphere and the variability of the propagation scenario. Support material: *Past exams *Lectures slides: Mobile radio: radiomovelv2.pdf Fading: desvanescimento.pdf Refraction: refraccao.pdf Reflexions: reflexoesv1.pdf Introduction: introductionv2.pdf *Files for kedge (this software computes and writes to an output file the signal atenuation due to an obstacle of type knife edge)
