Building Penetration Measurements from Low-Height Base Stations at 912, 1920, and5990 MHz

摘要

Building penetration measurements were taken simultaneously at three potentialPersonal Communications Services (PCS) frequencies: 912, 1920 and 5990 MHz. The continuous wave (CW) measurement system employed a fixed outdoor transmitter and a mobile indoor receiver. The goal was to quantify building penetration losses at these frequencies to determine the viability of indoor coverage using street microcells and base antenna heights below the roof level of surrounding buildings. Eleven different buildings representing typical residential and high-rise office building environments were used for the measurements. Vertically polarized transmit and receive antennas were used for all measurements.
