Abstract :
Ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) signal propagation experiment is performed in a rural terrain to characterize the outdoor UWB signal propagation channel. The bandwidth of the signal used in this experiment is in excess of one GHz. The test apparatus and measurement technique are described. From the measured pulse response the mean delay, delay spread, propagation loss and forestation loss are determined
