Ultra Wide Band Radio Propagation Channel

Pascal Pagani has been with France Telecom Research & Development since 2002, where he specializes in the characterization and modeling of the transmission channel and on the development of advanced communication systems for the home network environment. Friedman Tchoffo Talom is an R&D engineer at Satimo, France, having previously been a research engineer at the Laboratory of electronics and Information Technology (LETI) of the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). Patrice Pajusco Joined France Telecom Research & Development in 1993. From 1999 to 2007, he managed a propagation research group. Currently, he is a senior research expert working on radio propagation. Bernard Uguen is a Professor at the University of Rennes 1, France. He is a specialist in radio wave propagation and in ray tracing techniques for deterministic radio channel simulation.
