Abstract :
A wideband 16×32 MIMO channel sounder has been developed for the 5.8 GHz band. The paper reports on a series of measurements with the purpose of investigating both temporal and spatial aspects of channel changes in a number of widely different indoor environments. The measurements are carried out using two planar arrays of monopoles. The results include statistics on capacity, coherence bandwidth, and Doppler spreading for the various measurement scenarios.
