  • Abstract
    We have conducted propagation experiments assuming the environment of low base station antenna height and, hence, microcells in an urban area and have reported their results. In this report, we report the results of a propagation experiment in the microwave band that is conducted with transmission base station antennas installed at height sufficiently higher or lower than the surrounding building height. In particular, effects of the base station height on characteristics of path loss and delay spread are reported.
