Abstract
Wideband radiowave propagation
measurements in the DECT frequency band are
performed in a suburban environment. The aim is to
analyse the fixed radio link between the subscriber's
premises and the local exchange access unit for
different heights and pointing directions of the
antenna at the subscriber side. Measured complex
impulse responses are used to calculate the path loss
and rms time delay spread of this wireless localloop
communication channel. For both line-of-sight
(LOS) and non line-of-sight (NLOS) links, the
Iowest path Ioss and rms time delay spread are
found when the antenna points to the access unit at
the local exchange side. On the average, no
significant decrease in path Ioss and rms time delay
spread is observed when the height of subscriber
antennae is increased from 2m to 4m above the
ground. However for LOS links and NLOS links
which are affected by attenuation due to vegetation,
the path Ioss can be minimized by a proper choice
of the antenna height.
