Smartphone application in determining the reflection point for line-of-sight wireless systems

Abstract

With the increasing popularity of smart phone usage, it is advantages to develop smartphone applications that can aids and arouse interest of the students studying wireless

communication module.In a wireless system where multi path propagation occurs, the reflection point in a Line

of Sight System is of great importance and great interest as the position of the reflection point willl affects the quality of the signal received.In this project, a smart phone application using the Android 2.2 OS was developed to correlate the GPS reading of the user location, to retrieve user various values selection.The program used two reflection point calculation methods namely the Bisection Algorithm method and Solving the Cubic Equation method to calculate thereflection point position.The reflection point will be potrayed onto a graphical map upon calculation.
