Wireless Channel Sounding using Distributed and Synthetic Arrays

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

As wireless systems have adopted increasing complex methods and techniques to achieve greater capacity, reliability and energy efficiency, their performance has become increasingly sensitive to a broader range of propagation impairments and channel models have become evermore complex. We propose to develop novel and improved methods for characterizing wireless channels using either synthetic or distributed arrays and thereby support the design and deployment of next generation wireless systems in new and challenging scenarios. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) more cost effective channel sounder architectures, 2) better methods for extracting channel characteristics from raw signal data, 3) better methods for capturing the channel characteristics in the form of channel models.
