Small-Scale Indoor Channel Measurements at 24 GHz on a University Campus

In this paper, small-scale indoor channel measurements at millimeter wave frequencies are conducted at the American University of Sharjah campus in the United Arab Emirates. The measurements are performed using a wideband correlation-based channel sounder, which uses a 250 MHz bandwidth signal modulating a 24 GHz carrier. Different indoor scenarios are considered to examine the effect of the environment on the channel characteristics. The measurements are analyzed to obtain the channel's power delay profile, from which various parameters are calculated such as the average excess delay, the delay spread, and the number of resolvable multipath components.
