Description
Summary:The need for high bandwidth mobile applications (e.g. video transmissions, TV on the move) has fuelled research into wireless mobile millimetric communication systems capable of high data rate throughputs at short ranges. The development of such systems requires an understanding of dynamic variations in the propagation channel. This work describes measurements for the characterisation of the dynamic wideband propagation channel at about 60GHz in a cluttered environment, with anticipated mobile platform speeds of up to around 80mph (130km/hr). The QinetiQ wideband channel sounder, Jasmine, has been deployed for these measurements. Jasmine offers an extremely wide Doppler range of ±10kHz, whilst still providing measurement bandwidths of up to 250MHz and delay spread measurement capability of up to 10μs, with a resolution of better than 10ns. This paper presents the preliminary results for the static and mobile measurements in a controlled environment.
