Abstract

This paper presents results from the (to our knowledge) first double-directionally resolved measurement campaign at mm-wave frequencies in a suburban microcell. The measurements are performed with a real-time channel sounder equipped with phased antenna arrays that allows electrical beam steering in microseconds, and which can measure path-loss of up to 169 dB. Exploiting the phase coherency of the measurements in the different beams, we obtain both directional and omnidirectional channel power delay profiles without any delay uncertainty. We present statistics of channel characteristics such as path-loss, shadowing and delay spread results for line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight cases, as well as sample results for power angular spectrum and extracted multi-path components.
