Abstract

This paper provides the results of a complete study about the indoor radio propagation channel at 17 GHz. Wideband parameters, as coherence bandwidth or rms delay spread, and coverage are analyzed for the design of an OFDM-based broadband WLAN. A discussion of some adequate system parameters is also included. The report presents the characterization results as well as a previously developed indoor channel model; both of them have been checked and compared to bibliography results in order to verify their reliability
