Abstract :
Narrowband measurements have been performed at 870 MHz in outdoor urban microcells using low antenna heights. Typical path loss is shown, and an empirical path loss model is proposed. The slow fading is investigated, and a fading model for simulation purposes is suggested. The main characteristic of the fast fading is described, and a narrowband fast fading model is proposed
