Abstract

This paper presents an investigation on the fading characteristics occurring in ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission in a typical indoor propagation channel. The quantities of interest are the total received power and the channel capacity, which are calculated on the basis of rayoptical propagation simulations. From the obtained results it will turn out, that the channel capacity of ultra-wideband transmission is solely dependent on the distance between transmitter and receiver and does not suffer from any influence due to multi-path propagation. Furthermore, the path loss exponent is quantified and connections to the capacity are analyzed.
