Abstract :
A theoretical multi-slope wave propagation model is proposed based on ultra-wideband radio channel impulse response measurements in a dispersive channel. The theory, which applies to radiowave and acoustic propagation, relates multipath delay spread, propagation attenuation exponent, and the maximum possible rake gain for the multipath propagation channel.
