Wideband 3D characterization of mobile radio channels in urban environment.

This paper describes three-dimensional (3D) radio channel measurements at the base station site in an urban environment. We introduce a measurement concept which combines an RF switched receiver array and a synthetic aperture technique and allows full 3D characterization of the channel. Additionally...
