Summary:
This paper investigates the effects of foliage on the angular spread characteristics of propagating radio waves by employing the SAGE algorithm to provide angle of arrival estimates of the multipath components. The selection of the SAGE algorithm as the estimation technique is attributed to several factors: accuracy, rapid convergence, and robustness in low SNR scenarios. A wideband channel sounder was employed to perform a directional measurement of polarimetric signal through dense forest in the rural areas in Kanagawa. In order to understand the statistical characteristics, such as the angular spread, analysis of the multipoint mobile measurement acquisition results was performed.
