Abstract :
In this paper, we describe a simple method for measurement of the Ultra-Wideband Band (UWB) frequency response for evaluation of the path loss and impulse response of the UWB indoor channel. We propose a simple statistical path loss model for the residential channel that is based on over 300,000 frequency response measurements. The probability distributions of the model parameters for different locations are presented.
