Radio propagation data pertinent to the design of LMCS systems at 28 GHz

This paper reports work in progress on the analysis of radio propagation data measured at 28.5 GHz and 29.5 GHz in a suburban-type residential area in Ottawa. Both CW and wideband measurements were made in several radio propagation surveys. Issues discussed include: propagation loss in cluttered environments; cumulative probability distributions (CDFs) for excess loss; cross polarisation isolation, and temporal dispersion caused by multipath propagation.
