Propagation data and prediction methods required for the design of terrestrial broadband radio access systems operating in a frequency range from 3 to 60 GHz
Broadband wireless access is an important method of providing broadband to individual households as well as small business enterprises. This Recommendation addresses systems in a frequency range from 3 to 60 GHz and gives guidance for line-of-sight (LoS) coverage and non-LoS propagation mechanisms of importance. For affected systems@ rain methods are given to estimate diversity improvement by selecting the best base station from two and the coverage reduction under rainfall. Guidance is given regarding wideband distortion.
