Rician-K Factor Study for Temporal and Spatial Variations

In this study indoor propagation has been investigated by measurement and simulation. Measurement has been done in two different indoor environments using an automated site-survey measurement system built by the author for this purpose. simulation been done using a geometrical optics based program. Rician-K Factor has been estimated using four methods in literature. Rician-K Factor has been found for time and space variation of the received signal in measurements. Rician-K factor for simulations has been found for spatial variations of the received signal. Lots of interesting conclusions are drawn in this study.
