Abstract

The environment in which a communication system emits electro-magnetic waves represents the propagation channel. The propagation of electromagnetic waves in the channel include several problems related to the propagation medium which can be intercepted, reflected or diffracted by obstacles of different nature such as buildings, buildings, trees. Depending on the nature of the path, the received signal is composed of several wave attenuated and delayed in time, causing dispersive fading. These result in a substantial degradation in performance of a communication system. So the characterization of the propagation channel is a necessary step for the development of communication system. Knowing the properties and defects that brought on a transmission, adapted techniques can be developed.
