Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a modular channel sounder setup based on laboratory components. The time-domain system covers a bandwidth of 1 GHz. With respect to subsequently presented measurement results, the utilization of the setup for measurements in the millimeter wave band is described. However, in principle, the concept can be adapted to any frequency band. Fundamental aspects concerning the choice of the sounding sequence are discussed. To validate the practical functionality of the setup, we present exemplary measurement results for the short range 60 GHz in-cabin channel.
