Abstract :
This paper investigates the number of multipath components in realistic wireless indoor channels. A measurement campaign was performed to collect channel realizations in the Stata Center on the MIT campus. We develop an algorithm with low computational complexity to extract multipath components from the measured waveforms. Based on the results obtained from the measured data, we quantify the behavior of the number of paths with respect to both center frequency and bandwidth.
