Wireless Channel Characterization for Large Indoor Environments at 5 GHz

Abstract Details

This thesis provides a wireless channel characterization for large indoor environments in the frequency band around 5120 MHz. Measurements were carried out in two different large indoor locations on the Ohio University campus. Different transmitter positions were chosen at each location and the transmitter was kept stationary during the course of the measurements. For each transmitter position, the receiver was moved around inside to collect data. From the measurement data, we were able to obtain power delay profiles and compute root mean square delay spread values -- the most common measure of temporal dispersion. Average delay spreads range from approximately 50-100 ns, with the largest values occurring in non-line of sight conditions at the largest link distances. Our large indoor environments yielded larger delay spreads than those found by other researchers in indoor settings. Tapped delay line channel models were also developed for a channel bandwidth of 10 MHz. by specifying the number of channel taps, the tap amplitude fading distributions and the energy associated with each tap.
