The mobile channel is one of the factors, which limits the performance of the wireless communication system. The radio path (the path between the transmitter and receiver) can vary from a simple lineof-sight (LOS) to one that is blocked by the mountains. The performance of wireless channel is hard to predict compared to wired channel. A propagation measurement had been carried out in conjunction with the W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) Field Trial in Malaysia. The main objective

The pathloss exponent (propagation power law) also be investigated. The BER measurement was based on the BER on the downlink of BTS (Base Tranceiver System).
