Study on the characteristics for broadband channel in the suburban and urban scenarios at 2.35 GHz

This paper presents a research on the broadband radio propagation channel based on the measured data in a typical urban and suburban environment in Beijing, China at 2.35 GHz band. The specification on the log-normal shadowing path loss model is investigated. Path loss exponent and standard deviation of shadow fading of the two different scenarios are studied and compared. In particular, small-scale fading properties such as multipath number, Ricean K factor are also considered. The results based on the measurements provides reliable prediction of communication ranges, which is advantageous in the design of future communication systems and relative applications.
