Abstract :
The frequency (spectral) statistics of the line of sight channel is adequately described by the Rice distribution. The Ricean K-factor is extracted from a large body of measurements; it is given against terminal separation and carrier frequency in the range 2-18 GHz. A model based on a power law of the terminal separation and the reverberation distance is suggested. The electromagnetic reverberation distance is characterized for two different rooms, it is bigger for the larger room and tends to increase with frequency. The non line of sight spectral and spatial statistics are similar to each other and characterized by the Rayleigh distribution.
