• Abstract:
  A program for improving vehicular communications in the urban environment is described. The first major item was the development of a capability to measure and record both the multipath structure of any particular urban channel and the associated noise environment. This will be accomplished by outfitting a van to make noise measurements and also to be the receiving site for suitably designed probing signals which will be transmitted from fixed locations. The frequencies to be used are 149.95, 416.6 and 902.2 MHz. The second part of the program is directed toward analyzing the noise and multipath characteristics measured above. Effort has been directed toward constructing a channel simulator and a communication system simulator. Contractor reports are included.
