Wideband Indoor Radio Channel Measurements at 5.3 GHz

This paper describes a wideband radio channel complex impulse response measurement system with 5.3 GHz carrier frequency. The sounder uses crosscorrelation method. The first measurements have been performed using sliding correlator principle. Delay resolution of 20 ns and dynamic ranges over 25 dB have been achieved for the wideband impulse response measurement. Statistical radio channel parameters, like rms delay spread and pathloss for an office environment have been measured for empirical radio channel characterization purposes.
