Abstract :
The characterization of the wireless channel on board a cruise ship is considered by means of frequency domain measurements of received power and propagation attenuation. This electromagnetic environment is rather new and is characterized by abundance of reflecting surfaces and diffracting elements, so that a significant difference with respect to more common residential and office environments has been found. The measurement setup is simple and easy to position and operate. The results consist of corrected path loss laws for halls and corridors and the quantification of scattering influence.
