Multipath Time Delay Jitter Measured at 850 MHz in the Portable Radio Environment

Time delay jitter in digital personal communications systems, caused by moving the antenna by a few wavelengths, was studied at two office buildings and two residences at a frequency of 850 MHz. A wide-band pseudonoice code technique was used. The results indicate that peak-to-peak time delay, variations on the order of 375 ns may be encountered. The worst case jitter was not necessarily found when there was a large time delay spread. It was also found that the excess mean delay and the root mean-square (rms) time delay spread of the delay distribution profiles were approximately the same.
