The optimization of
mobile antenna's performances in mobile communication
environments is an important problem. To solve the
problem, it is necessary that received signal characteristics,
such as the received power and the fading spectrum,
can be estimated considering the radiation pattern
of the antenna. In this paper, the received signal
characteristics are estimated from the radiation
pattern and the angular probability density distribution
of wave arrival. The distribution is estimated using
a propagation model proposed here. The propagation
model consists of both the environmental model to
simulate surroundings of ratio wave's propagation
paths and the paths and the path model to simulate
propagation paths. It is shown that the tendency
of the measured distribution is well estimated using
the propagation model. The propagation model is
useful for estimating the angular probability density
distribution of wave arrival. Furthemore, it is
verified that the received signal characteristics
obtained from both the radiation pattern and the
estimated angular probability density distribution
of wave arrival agree with the measured results.
