Abstract :
Broadband measurements of the indoor radio propagation channel, performed on the office floor of a factory, are described. The sounded frequency band has been 1.7-2.2 GHz, since several mobile and cordless telephone systems, and in particular DECT, operate within that frequency range. The frequency domain technique, proposed by Howard and Pahlavan (1990), based upon the use of a network analyzer, has been chosen for measurement execution, due to its easier implementation and to its higher accuracy. Indications concerning the effects of the environment on the path loss at the DECT frequency (1.89 GHz) and concerning the statistical behaviour of time delay spread, are presented
