Abstract
Development of telecommunications using mobile phones requires the installa tion of many base stations (BTS) in order to cover the large number of cell s which make up the network. Existing systems (GSM, DSC) use carrier freque ncies within the microwave range. Ideally, operators should have simulation software to determine the position of BTS. This software would be used ini tially to determine the geometric configuration of the cells. The next step would be to optimise the radiation pattern of each BTS antenna. In this ar ticle we present a method for determining radioelectric coverage based on i mage theory adapted to the problem, which is more accurate and less time-co nsuming than conventional methods.
