Radio channel characterization at 2.4 GHz in nuclear plant environment

This paper presents a radio channel measurement campaign at 2.4 GHz conducted in a nuclear power plant. The aim of this study is to investigate radio propagation characteristics in this particular industrial environment. Given the presence of thick concrete walls and large metallic structures, the propagation conditions are expected to be very harsh. Path loss models and fading statistics have been extracted for different Line of Sight and Non Line-of-Sight scenarios.
