Antenna and Wireless Multipath Virtual Channel Interaction

A procedure to interact real antennas with a virtual wireless channel simulating the multipath is presented. The method permits to test the performance of the antennas in the channel. The proposed technique achieves the interaction between the channel and the antennas by means of a file with their measured directional radiation characteristics. As a result, the amplitudes and phases of the output signals resulting from the multipath channel are obtained.
