800 MHz attenuation measured in and around suburban houses.

Signal levels around and within eight suburban houses have been measured at 800 MHz. These measurements are needed in refining the requirements for portable radio communication systems that can accommodate low-power radiotelephone sets. The decrease in median signal level with distance ranges from d(-3) to d(-6.2) for the eight houses. Signal decreases as d(-4.5) for the overall data set. Other signal statistics are given in the memorandum.
