A geometrical approach for multipath characteristics study with 2 8 GHz measurements

In this paper, a geometrical approach is presented to estimate locations of the last hop of multipath based on measurement data. Statistic characteristics of last hops can be used to generate spatially consistent channels which are required for 5G channel modelling. The measurement was conducted with a 28GHz wideband channel sounder in urban street environments. Results show that most last hops are distributed either on the walls of buildings or in the crossroad area.
