Abstract :
MIMO vector radio channel sounding devices allow multidimensional analysis of wave propagation in mobile radio channels. 6-dimensions represent Doppler, TDOA, 2D DOD and 2D DOA. Antenna array architectures, calibration and K-D unitary ESPRIT parameter estimation are discussed. Parametric channel models can be derived from the estimated data
