Frequency response and path loss measurements of indoor channel

Abstract
An improved method of operation of an HP network analyser to perform measurements of the frequency response of the indoor RF propagation channel and the relative path loss envelope and phase of a CW signal is described. An improved postprocessing procedure is also described. Test results obtained for indoor measurements in the 1–2 GHz band (2.3 ns resolution after windowing) and 945 MHz path loss measurements are presented as examples.
