This paper presents the generalized method of the prediction of the LOS propagating characteristics in an urban microcell by using theray tracing technique. Whereas the received power is calculated by the finite number of pths, 4~10, on an urban steet, the RMS delay spread is comuted by using the sufficient rays of convergence. To take into account the infinite number of paths the technique of the numbering scheme of image antennas was presented by using the rectangular pulse. As to this the existing restriction of the finitte number of paths was relaxed. based on the method of extending the number of paths and the canyon model the received power and RMS delay spread are computed and their differences according to the number of paths are compared at the frequencies of both 1GHz and 2GHz, respectively.
