Abstract :
This paper describes a developed wideband millimeter-wave radio channel sounder, which is based on the previously developed 2- and 5-GHz channel-sounder concept. Performance is analyzed, and examples of measurements, analysis, and comparison to lower frequencies are given. The sounder enables wideband (3-dB bandwidth of 100 MHz) measurements with continuous phase and excellent link budged without a cable connection between the transmitter and the receiver.
