Hvor og hvordan antenner monteres, påvirker deres ydeevne, fordi omgivelserne og selve monteringsstrukturen kan ændre, hvordan signalet udbreder sig. Som første skridt bruger vi computersimuleringer til at kvantificere, hvordan disse forhold påvirker antennens strålingsdiagram (retning og styrke af det udsendte signal), og hvordan det i sidste ende påvirker netværkets ydeevnemål. Til sidst sammenligner vi simulationsresultaterne med målinger fra en realistisk installation i Aalborgs byområde.

Where and how antennas are installed affects their performance, because the surroundings and the mounting structure can change how signals propagate. As a first step, we use computer simulations to quantify how these factors alter the antenna’s radiation pattern (the direction and strength of its emitted signal) and, in turn, how this influences network performance metrics. Finally, we compare the simulation results with measurements from a real-world deployment in the urban area of Aalborg.
