Abstract: Wideband impulse response measurements were made to character¬ize proposed radio data channels in three indoor environments. The mea¬surement system employed a 1.5 GHz carrier which was biphase shift key (BPSK) modulated using a 100 Mb/s pseudo-random code. By using a correlation receiver, the channel cophase and quadphase responses were measured and stored for later processing. Data processing included calcu¬lation of delay spread, correlation bandwidth (BW), and signal attenuation. The raw data are stored in binary form on tape and disk for further indoor propagation channel studies.

Keywords: attenuation; BPSK; channel response; correlation bandwidth; delay spread; impulse response; indoor; propagation; radio; wideband
