    Channel Sonding Technique

    Uploaded by

    Krishanu Modak
    1) Direct pulse measurements is a simple channel sounding technique that transmits a repetitive pulse and uses a receiver with a wide bandwidth filter to determine the power delay profile of the channel. 2) It provides an immediate measurement of the square of the channel impulse response convolved with the probing pulse on an oscilloscope. 3) The minimum resolvable delay between multipath components is equal to the probing pulse width, and it lacks complexity since off-the-shelf equipment can be used, but it is susceptible to interference and noise.

    Channel sonding technique

    Because of the importance of multipath structure in determining the small-scale


    fading effects, a number of wideband channel sounding techniques have been developed.
    1) Direct pulse measurements
    2) Spread spectrum sliding correlator measurements
    3) Swept frequency measurements

    Direct RF Pulse System

    1. A simple channel sounding approach is the direct RF pulse system (see Fig).
    This technique allows engineers to determine rapidly the power delay profile of
    any channel, as demonstrated by Rappaport and Seidel.

    2. Essentially a wide band pulsed bistatic radar, this system transmits a repetitive
    pulse of width τbb s, and uses a receiver with a wide bandpass filter (BW = 2/τbb
    Hz).
    3. The signal is then amplified, detected with an envelope detector, and displayed
    and stored on a high speed oscilloscope.

    4. This gives an immediate measurement of the square of the channel impulse


    response convolved with the probing pulse. Refer the equatio below

    where |r(t0)|2 is called the instantaneous multipath power delay profile of the
    channel and r(t) closely approximates the impulse response.

    5. If the oscilloscope is set on averaging mode, then this system can provide a local
    average power delay profile.

    6. Another attractive aspect of this system is the lack of complexity, since off-the-
    shelf equipment may be used.

    7. The minimum resolvable delay between multipath components is equal to the


    probing pulse width τbb .

    8. The main problem with this system is that it is subjected to interference and
    noise, due to the wide passband filter required for multipath time resolution. Also,
    the pulse system relies on the ability to trigger the oscilloscope on the first
    arriving signal. If the first arriving signal is blocked or fades, severe fading
    occurs, and it is possible the system may not trigger properly.

    9. Another disadvantage is that the phases of the individual multipath components


    are not received, due to the use of an envelope detector. However, use of a
    coherent detector permits measurement of the multipath phase using this
    technique.
