Abstract
In this paper, we present an experimental characterization of the ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) indoor channel using Generalized Gamma distributions. This investigation is also based on the analysis of the statistical properties of the multipath profiles when thresholding the estimated Power Delay Profile PDP over a spaced measurement grid. This characterization procedure was applied to the ultra wideband channel measurements collected from a measurement campaign, which has been performed within the whyless.com project by the IMST group, over a bandwidth of 10 GHz.
