Building Penetration Loss Measurements at 900 MHz, 11.4 GHz, and 28.8 GHz

摘要

The feasibility of using radio frequencies in the super high frequency (SHF) band (3-30 GHz) for Personal Communications Services (PCS) in buildings depends on the multipath within the structure and the amount of attenuation experienced by the electromagnetic waves passing through the structures. This study measured these effects to obtain a quantitative estimate of the attenuation magnitude. This magnitude can then be used for link margin analysis to determine if personal communications at SHF is practical.
