Abstract

This paper contains measured data and empirical models for 3.1~10.6-GHz radio propagation path loss and aggregate penetration loss (APL) in residential areas for UWB applications. A frequency domain based experiment is performed for line-of-sight (LOS) and obstruction propagation conditions. The double ridge horn antenna and the biconical antenna are used to investigate the dependence of the antenna directivity on the UWB path loss. While the penetration loss is modeled under the directional propagation scheme. The characterization of the path loss exponent, n, and the APL are investigated. Therefore, the propagation prediction models are developed to understand the phenomenon of the futuristic indoor residential communication systems for home wireless networking
