Abstract

This paper presents the measured wide-band characteristics of 900 and1800 MHz band radio propagation channels in a tunnel environment formicrocellular and personal communications. The measurements were made usingthe swept frequency technique. The analysis of the average measured powerdelay profiles reveals that the rms time delay spread is less than 25 nswhen the tunnel is empty and can be as large as 103 ns when the tunnel isblocked by vehicles.
