Wide-band mobile radio channel characterisation in UHF band for residential suburban areas

This paper describes wideband measurements of the 2.38 GHz radio channel in a residential suburban area of Malvern, UK. Data in the form of the time variant complex channel impulse responses have been recorded and discrete multipath components extracted. The first-order statistics of these components, including exceedance curves of propagation path number and RMS delay spread, are presented and compared with those derived from similar measurement campaigns reported elsewhere in the literature.
