Abstract :
Accurate characterization of wireless small-scale fading is of growing interest to wireless modem developers who are using increasingly complicated multi-antenna signaling schemes and protocols that either mitigate or exploit multi-path in the radio channel. This paper presents a measurement technique for (and subsequent characterizations of) small-scale fading for a realistic, indoor propagation environment at 2.45 GHz.
