Abstract :
In this paper, propagation measurements in MD-82 plane based on THU Channel Sounder are presented. The measurements were conducted in three different frequency bands: 2.4, 3.52 and 5.8 GHz, representative of several wireless services. And the fading characteristics are analyzed from the measured data, especially Rician K-factor. Properties of fading in DAS in detail are analyzed by applying actual measured channel data within the aircraft while most literatures usually focus on fading characteristics of indoor scenario. Meanwhile, the coverage of K- factor in cabin between seat backrests and seats is compared. Moreover, the fading characteristics in the three frequency bands in aircraft are also analyzed in the paper. It could provide an important basis for future wireless channel model in cabin.
