We make an analytical study of the modal cutoff beha¨ior of a wa¨eguide with an annular core cross section bounded by two nonconcentric circles. The characteristic and cutoff equations are obtained with the use of the weak guidance approximation. Numerical computations show that the number of modes

β¦ Synopsis
tion predictions in heterogeneous urban environments with arbitrary building layouts and heights. The method is based on image theory, and has high computational efficiency compared to the precedent methods resorting to the ray-launching scheme. The presented hybrid method gives relatively accurate prediction results for propagation over buildings with irregular heights and spacings in practical computing time. The model surpasses empirical channel models, and provides a bounty of additional information, including rms delay spread, angle of arrival, and overall wideband channel impulse response. The model was validated with measurements in a heterogeneous urban environment of Munich, Germany. Further improvements can be expected from the inclusion of a more accurate model for terrain and vegetation effects.
