  Angular dispersion is the effect of a multi-path propagation observed in
received signals. An assessment of this phenomenon is particularly important
from the viewpoint of emerging fifth generation (5G) communication systems. In
these systems, using the beam-forming and massive multiple-input
multiple-output antenna arrays are planned. This phenomenon also has a negative
impact on direction finding and older generation communication systems used in
an urban environment. In this paper, we present the angular dispersion
evaluation for various propagation environments based on simulation studies.
This analysis is carried out for different environment types defined in the
3GPP standard model for a selected frequency. In this case, the angular spread
is determinated based on the power angular spectrum. This parameter is the
basis for the influence evaluation of the propagation environment on the
received signal angular dispersion.
