2.6 Ghz Band Multipath Characteristics for Urban Microcellular Telecommunication Systems

Abstract

L O Summary Measurement of multipath delay profile characteristics in the 2.6 GWz band has been carried out within a 2 x 1.5 km area in metropolitan Tokyo to investigate the feasibility of a high speed digital micro-cellular portable radio system. The measurement system has time resolution of 40 ns. In this paper we present the spatial variations of the power delay profile and the delay-Doppler spectra, and we show the cumulative distribution of the delay spread and the error rate caused by multipath in the micro-cellular propagation environment.
