Hi,
I am doing some work on propagation of radio waves within a built up environment. I have looked at the following examples: https://uk.mathworks.com/help/antenna/ref/rfprop.raytracing.html and https://uk.mathworks.com/help/antenna/ug/urban-channel-link-analysis-and-visualization-using-ray-tracing.html where Openstreetmap has been used to set up the model for the propagation from a real world scenarios. I would like to take this a stage further with a more accurate simulation.
What I wanted to ask was, would it be feasible to use Matlab to import a Openstreetmap map containing buildings,roads, objects etc., just like in the example, and then apply the relevant boundary conditions to enable a FDTD simulation of a electromagentic wave to enable radio progation to be simulated? Obviously, I reliase this would be extremely computationally demanding.
Best regards,
