Abstract :
This report presents the results of measurements to characterize MMDS band radio propagation in a suburban environment for a system using a directional base antenna and either a directional or an omni-directional fixed subscriber antenna. Channel sounding measurements were made using three subscriber antenna heights at representative locations throughout residential and commercial areas. Path loss and delay spread are reported as functions of subscriber antenna height for line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions
