Measurement-based MIMO channel model at 140GHz

1. Introduction

The file “gen_dd_channel.zip” is a package of a wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) stored radio channel model at 140 GHz in indoor hall, outdoor suburban, residential and urban scenarios. The package consists of 1) measured wideband double-directional multipath data sets estimated from radio channel sounding and processed through measurement-based ray-launching and 2) MATLAB code sets that allows users to generate wideband MIMO radio channels with various antenna array types, e.g., uniform planar and circular arrays at link ends.

2. What does this package do?

Outputs of the channel model

The MATLAB file “ChannelGeneratorDD_hexax.m” gives the following variables, among others. The .m file also gives optional figures illustrating antennas and radio channel responses.

Inputs to the channel model

In order for the MATLAB file “ChannelGeneratorDD_hexax.m” to run properly, the following inputs are required.

User’s parameters

When using “ChannelGeneratorDD_hexax.m”, the following choices are available.
