Empirical Ultra Wide Band Path Loss Model in Office Environments

Abstract

This paper reports the empirical path loss model of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communications in office environments. The channel transfer functions of 46 transmitter-receiver location pairs are acquired using channel measurement system based on frequency sweep method. From the measured data, parameters of log-distance path loss formula are extracted considering propagation environments and existence of a line of sight path. The effect of frequency to the path loss properties of ultra wideband signal is presented also. Finally, statistical properties of received signal power with respect to the receiver conditions are analyzed.
