A Fast Rotating-Mirror Sounder for Dynamic Millimeter-Wave Channel Characterization
(2024)- Abstract
- A deep understanding of double-directional wireless
channels is imperative for wireless system design. This necessitates
the development of precise channel models through channel
sounding. Given the dynamic nature of wireless channels, a short
measurement time is highly desirable. In this paper, we present
and validate a dual-polarized millimeter-wave channel sounder
that uses a rotating mirror mechanism. This enables quick sweep
of the azimuthal plane to capture spatial channel characteristics
at 27.5-28.5 GHz in less than a second. This is radically faster
than conventional virtual-array channel sounders. Following a detailed
discussion of the sounder implementation and the rotating
mirror... (More) - A deep understanding of double-directional wireless

scenario. The results demonstrate several discernible propagation
paths with parameters that agree with the actual geometry of the
indoor measurement environment. (Less)
