Abstract

Using a channel sounder for wideband Car-to-Car 2 Ã— 2 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radio channel measurements at 5.7 GHz with a bandwidth of 1 GHz, we have investigated typical car-to-car communication scenarios in a variety of environments in and around the city of Berlin in Germany. Apart from the full bandwidth signal, we have additionally evaluated an extracted 10 MHz signal. Among other results, we present delay and Doppler spread statistics and spatial correlation evaluations.
