Understanding Mobile Radio Propogation-9 — Lesson 9

This lesson covers the concept of Mobile Radio Propagation, focusing on small scale multipath measurements and channel sounding techniques. It delves into the importance of measurements in creating a realistic channel model and discusses the pros and cons of various measurement techniques. The lesson also explores the differences between wideband and narrowband signals, and how they behave in a multipath channel. It further explains three specific techniques: direct RF pulse system, Spread Spectrum Sliding Correlator Channel Sounding technique, and frequency domain channel sounding technique. The lesson concludes with a discussion on the practical application of these techniques in ultra-wideband channel measurements.
