Abstract :
The design and construction of a 2.4 GHz antenna array suitable for measurement of the time, angle, and complex amplitude of path arrivals in an indoor radio channel are described. Calibration of the array is facilitated with the aid of an anechoic chamber. An optimal least-squares processor is derived, which compensates for systematic calibration errors. Early measurement results are presented, and future direction of the research are indicated
