A New Hypo-Rayleigh Distribution for Short Range Wide-Band Directive Indoor Channel Fading Modeling at 3.3 and 5.5 GHz Bands

In this work, propagation loss models for indoor environment are presented. The directive channel propagation loss in indoor environment at frequency bands of 3.3 GHz with a channel bandwidth of 200 MHz and 5.5 GHz band with 320 MHz bandwidth is measured using vertical polarizations where a set of directive panel antennas and a network analyzer are used in the measurement campaign. It is noticed that, the propagation loss can be modelled by two slopes propagation model giving a rise to two propagation zones. The first zone of propagation is almost free space propagation zone while generally; the second zone has a higher deviation from the mean value of propagation loss. A new Hypo-Rayleigh distribution is proposed to model the channel induced fading in the second zone of the propagation zones.
