This paper reports the propagation measurements conducted in urban, suburban, and rural environments of Singapore at 27.4 GHz and the studies on excess loss, K-factor, mean delay, and delay-spread characteristics. Also, static and time-variant channel impulse response (IR) models, developed based on measurements, were reported. The static channel IR models were classified into good, moderate, and bad channel types according to the signal reception quality. A generalized tapped delay-line model was presented to represent the time-varying complex channel IR. Finally, simple channel IR simulations were carried out to compare the delay characteristics with the measured results.Index Terms-Channel model, delay spread, excess loss, LMDS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
