The application of GIS in designing of wireless communication systems with SC combining in the presence of Ricean fading

In this paper, the application of Geographic Information System (GIS) in designing of wireless communication systems with SC combining in the presence of Ricean fading is presented. The pictures showing a gain has been made using diversity techniques are given. The application of the proposed solutions in practice simplifies the design of wireless telecommunications systems, shortens the time required for its configuration and leads to considerable economic savings.
