Abstract

This paper describes a simple statistical model for evaluating the path loss in residential environments. It consists of detailed characterization of path loss model parameters of ultra-wideband band (UWB) signals having a nominal center frequency of 5 GHz. The proposed statistical path loss model is for the in-home channel and it is based on over 300,000 frequency response measurements. Probability distributions of the model parameters for different locations are presented. Also, time domain results such as RMS delay spread and percent of captured power are presented.
