Abstract

This paper presents comprehensive experimental results obtained from narrowband and wideband radio-channel measurements in a maritime environment at 5.8 GHz. From continuous-wave (CW) measurement data, large scale distance-power curves and path-loss exponents of a practical scenario are determined. Other relevant parameters, such as the mean excess delay, and the coherence bandwidth are extracted from the wideband-measurement data. Results show a propagation behavior that is specific for these environments.
