Abstract

Measurements for ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) indoor propagation channels, performed in two different environments in a modern engineering building, are reported in this paper. Extensive measurements are taken in order to enable us to model UWB channels in detail. Particularly, we analyze path loss, RMS delay spread, amplitude distribution function, spatial correlation of different antenna separations and delay correlation between adjacent multipath components. The amplitude distribution and correlation within bins are also examined. Results reported in this paper can be used in the design of high-speed UWB communication systems.
