UWB channel sounding and channel characteristics in rectangular metal cavity

Abstract

This paper first describes channel sounding for ultra-wideband (UWB) channel in rectangular metal cavity. According to the measurement results, different UWB channel characteristics in such an environment are analyzed and compared with the channel characteristics of other environments such as hallway and office environments. This paper will be helpful in better understanding of UWB channel inside confined metal environment that is related to many commercial and military applications and guide us to design high performance system for wireless communication in such an environment.
