Abstract :
A sounding of the outdoor wideband channel at 2.4 GHz was performed directly in the frequency domain. The sounding was performed in a residential section of the University of New Hampshire campus. The distance-power gradient in this area was found to be 2.532. Large-scale fading was found to be lognormal with a standard deviation of 9 dB. Small-scale or multipath fading best fit the Weibull distribution and had a standard deviation of 5 dB. The fade slope fit a Laplacian distribution well and had a standard deviation of 4 dB/MHz
