Mobile propagation loss with a low base station antenna for NLOS street microcells in urban area

Abstract

Path loss for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation in urban streets with a low base station antenna is simulated. Typical path loss curves are shown to be characterized by three,slopes and two break points. The path loss exponents for each part at different frequency are calculated. The frequency and the road width's effects on path loss are discussed. An explanation for the results is also included in this paper.
