Pulse propagation characteristics at 2.4 GHz inside buildings

Abstract

The growing use of unlicensed wireless systems has spurred interest in the 2.4-GHz ISM band. In order to facilitate the design of such systems, measurements of the pulse response characteristics have been made inside commercial buildings. From the measured pulse response, the statistical properties of the amplitude variation for individual pulses was determined, in addition to the path loss, mean excess delay, root mean square (RMS) delay spread, and the coherence bandwidth of the indoor channel.
