Characterization of an empirically-derived database of time-varying microwave channel responses

This paper reports on the gathering, processing, and categorization of empirically derived time-varying channel responses. The passband data and data collection information is provided courtesy of Applied Signal Technology (Sunnyvale, CA). It is the intent of this paper to provide the signal processing community with a database of time-varying fractionally-spaced channel responses and received sequences based on empirical measurements which can be used to test and refine existing time-varying channel models and also propose new ones.
