Abstract
Measurements and simulations of the vehicle penetration loss (VPL) at 600, 900, 1800, and 2400 MHz are presented. The measured average penetration loss varies from 3.2 to 23.8 dB, depending on frequency, illuminated vehicle side, and in-vehicle antenna orientation. VPL tends to follow a lognormal distribution. Reported penetration loss values are compared to previous measurements from the literature.
