Doppler component analysis of the suburban vehicle-to-vehicle DSRC propagation channel at 5.9 GHz

This study presents Doppler component analysis of the mobile vehicle-to-vehicle propagation channel at 5.9 GHz. The measurements were conducted via a VANET field implementation under realistic suburban driving conditions in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Different components in the observed spectrum were analyzed with vehicle speeds and compared with theoretical mobile-to-mobile scenarios. Intuitive understandings are also provided based on our analysis from on-road measurements.
