Channel Characterization for Wireless Communication at 2.4 GHz Frequency

Wireless communication technology is one of the most accessed technology now and everywhere. The term wireless defines to communication or transmission of data without requiring cables, wires or any electrical conductors. The deep study of wireless communication was held to find ways to increase the speed of data transmission so less time to transmit data or avoid data loss. The loss in transmitted data usually occurs due to multi-path fading especially in an indoor environment. This research is carried out by conducting a measurement campaign at 2.4 GHz in an indoor environment at administration building hallway of Kolej GENIUS Insan to evaluate the path loss. 2.4GHz radio signal is used to evaluate the path loss. The signal is generated by the Wi-Fi router in Kolej GENIUS Insan. The Received Signal Strength (RSS) is measured, hence the loss or data delay in data transmitted is calculated and analysed. This study found that the element of building furniture and edge result to better signal reception.
