<p>Wireless systems have always been susceptible to interception in both urban outdoor and indoor  environments. In point-to-point communication links, the placement of base station antennas is usually determined  by an experimental or analytical assessment of the propagation path. Since point-to-point links are typically used  to network widely separated areas, antennas used in such situations are likely to be directional, but may still be  susceptible to interception by covert entities. In this thesis research, issues pertaining to vulnerability will be  identified and preventive measures will be suggested. The generation of received signal contours as a function of  location and frequency for different propagation models will also be investigated. This thesis thus examines the  vulnerabilities of wireless point-to-point communication to interception by propagation simulations using  computational electromagnetic codes available in the Naval Postgraduate ECE Department's Microwave and  Antenna Laboratory. The software was used to examine the vulnerability of these wireless systems and identify  simple measures that can be taken to increase the system's security.
