Abstract
A system of physical optics is provided which is employed in the design of indoor wireless communication systems, where transmitters are placed and oriented within a model of a building complex. The system provides for forward tracing of rays, which makes practical signal coverage displays that respond interactively to communication system design changes. The physical optics system consists of a method of generating semi-rectangular cone elements covering space, and a method of enumerating receiver test points within each cone for accumulation and display of electromagnetic signal coverage.
