Experimental wireless channel analysis between 1 and 40 GHz in an indoor NLoS corridor environment

This work presents an analysis of the wireless channel based on a measurement campaign performed from 1 GHz to 40 GHz in an Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) indoor corridor environment. The delay characteristics and path loss parameters are estimated for different sub-bands. The NLoS values are compared with Line-of-Sight (LoS) results extracted from the same measurement campaign. The channel sounder is based on a Vector Network Analyzer, one linear positioning system and Optical-Radio transceivers. The positioning system allows the measurement of MIMO channel transfer functions. These functions are measured without distance limitation thanks to the fiber-optic system.
