Abstract-A comprehensive polarimetric distance-dependent model of the power delay profile (PDP) and path gain is proposed. The model includes both Specular Multipath Components (SMC) and Dense Multipath Components (DMC); the latter being modeled with an exponential and power law. The parameters of the model were estimated from polarimetric measurements of a large hall radio channel under Line-Of-Sight (LOS) conditions at 1.3 GHz with a dedicated procedure. The validity and robustness of the proposed approach is provided by the good agreement between the polarimetric data and models for the investigated transmitter-receiver distance range. Furthermore, the description of the radio channel with path loss models is discussed for cases where the DMC is included and a two-step method to compute the path loss characteristics directly from the measured data is developed. The results of this contribution highlight the fact that a complete polarimetric description of all propagation mechanisms and related path loss models is desired to design faithful polarimetric radio channel models.Index Terms-Polarimetric measurement, Distance-dependent channel model, Indoor environment, Dense multipath component, path loss model.
