Indoor MIMO channel sounding at 3.5 GHz

This paper presents a measurement campaign carried out at 3.5 GHz. The objective is to characterize the electromagnetic waves propagation in indoor environment. A double directional channel sounder was used to perform these measurements. The collected data were then processed with a high resolution algorithm to extract the multipath parameters. A comparison between measurement results and a ray tracing tool is done to interpret the propagation mechanisms in this environment. The aim of these measurement campaigns is to obtain realistic MIMO channel models.
