ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT:

The following presentation overviews UWB, different methods for measuring channel measurements, and a comparison of measurements with vertical and horizontal polarization.

This presentation will overview the effect that different antenna orientations have on the wireless channel, in an indoor office environment. Channel reciprocity, path loss, body shadowing and spatial correlation are investigated for the frequency band 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. The measurements are performed in the frequency domain. UWB channels are shown to be highly reciprocal in all instances. Path loss versus distance for LOS and NLOS are presented. Body shadowing, RMS delay spread and received power loss investigated and plotted spatially. Spatial correlation results using a two dimensional grid are presented.
