UHF Band Short Range Propagation Model

The purpose of this study is to characterize the indoor and indoor–outdoor propagation in different scenarios, using monopole antennas working at 410 and 890 MHz. Propagation of narrow band and wide bands have been studied. In scenarios with a continuous variation of the distance between the transmitter and receiver antenna (1 D scenarios), we use a log-distance path loss model to determine the equations that describe the mean value of the path loss. In scenarios where the position of the receiver is not a uniform function of the distance between the transmitter and the receiver, we represent the basic propagation gain as a function of the measurement point index. Results show that the indoor propagation gain can be described using two slopes propagation model. For the multiwall attenuation loss it is shown that each wall has an attenuation of almost 2.5 dB at 410 MHz increasing to almost 4 dB at 890 MHz. The obstruction gain (loss) due to human beings shows that this can be within a 40 dB interval.
