This thesis presents a wireless channel characterization for a forest environment. For our forest measurements, we used a center frequency of 5.12 GHz to take 50-MHz bandwidth impulse response estimate measurements. The measurement locations were chosen at Stroud’s Run State Park, with the transmitter at trail entrances, and the receiver carried along a path in the forest, of distance up to approximately 150m from the transmitter. Our measurement results were in the form of power delay profiles, which along with multipath component phase information, can be used to obtain channel impulse response statistics. The most important of these is the root-mean-square value of delay spread. Frequency coherence bandwidths were also obtained from our data. All these results, and the channel models for this environment, were done for a popular current value of bandwidth: 10 MHz. The wideband channel models specify the number of channel taps in the tapped delay line model, the tap energies, Markov tap persistence process parameters for modeling tap appearance and disappearance, and tap fading amplitude distributions. We found that our measured results are within expectations based upon the environment, and on some other related work in the literature. Our models can be useful for wireless system design and optimization in the 5 GHz band forest environment.
