A Study of Delay and Doppler Spreads at 24 GHz ISM band

摘要

This article investigates the wide-band channel characteristics at 24 GHz ISM band in a mobile radio environment. The mobility in the test environment is achieved by attaching the transmit antenna to a KUKA robot's arm. The radio measurements were carried out inside the robotics lab at the University of Gävle, Sweden. The radio channel measurements were carried out at various situations, e.g., line of sight (LOS), non-line of sight (NLOS), regular lab environment, reflective environment, and different velocities of the robot's arm. The influence of these situations on the power delay profile, Doppler spectral density, root mean square (RMS) delay spread, RMS Doppler spread, coherence bandwidth and coherence time, has been studied.
