24 GHz indoor MIMO channel measurements

The demand for increased bandwidth to support modern mobile wireless services has pushed the community to explore higher carrier frequencies where spectrum is more readily available. However, relatively few studies have focused attention on bands such as 24 GHz that may support non-line-of-sight communication. This paper provides experimental measurements of multi-antenna, wideband propagation channels at 24 GHz, with emphasis on observed delay spreads, pathloss, and achieved capacity for different channel conditions.
