Abstract :
The use of wireless networks is continuously increasing, as well as extending to new purposes and new environments, mainly outdoor oriented and some of them at vegetation media. Although there are multiple propagation studies at wireless network frequency bands within vegetation scenarios, most of them are focused on classical base station to mobile terminal configuration. The main aim of this research is to provide a propagation study for the three most commonly used wireless network frequencies: 2.4, 3.5 and 5.8 GHz in a peer to peer configured system, where both, the transmitter and the receiver are located at the same low heights, within vegetation media, including forests and meadows.
