Abstract

Field measurements at 836.37 MHz in a suburban area were done. A spectrum analyzer was used as the measurement apparatus to acquire radio mobile envelope. The Nakagami average fade duration and Rice distribution of the duration of fades were verified in their ability to fit the empirical data calculated from the envelope recorded. Empirical data and theoretical formulas showed good match for most of data set.
