4 4 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Abstract The goal of the project is to implement a channel sounding measurement analysis tool for the wireless test bed utilized by the Communications Laboratory (ComLab) at the University of Kassel. The analysis tool is implemented based on the mobile radio channel theory by Bello [1], which is further explored by Molisch [2] and Kattenbach [3]. The tool gives the user the option to plot either of the deterministic system functions, stochastic system correlation functions or special correlation functions & condensed parameters corresponding to [1], [2] and [3]. Since the wireless test bed can be configured in up to a 4X4 MIMO mode, the user is also allowed to select which of the up to 16 MIMO channels he intends to characterize. Noisy channel components can be reduced by applying averaging filter methods with variable filter length. Furthermore, to avoid errors affecting the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) due to nonperiodic signals, an option to window the data is also given to the user. Since this is the first version of the tool for the wireless test bed, efforts have been made to execute an implementation that can be easily modified and extended for future versions. Some areas where future work can be done have also been identified.

7 Chapter 1 7 Chapter 1 System-Theoretic Description of the Mobile Radio Channel 1.1 Characterization of Deterministic Linear Time-Variant Systems A mobile radio channel, also called a wireless channel, can be described by the theory given by Bello [1], which is further explored by Molisch [2] and Kattenbach [3]. As stated in [2], if the transmitter, receiver and the interfering objects are all static, i.e., not moving, the channel is said to be time-invariant. For such cases, the theory of linear time invariant (LTI) systems is applied and the channel is described by the time-invariant impulse response h(τ) where τ is the delay. In general, however, the physical characteristics of the wireless medium are constantly changing due to which the channel is time-variant. Hence, the theory of linear time variant (LTV) systems is used. The channel is described by the complex response h(tt, ττ) of the channel at observation time t to a delta-shaped excitation τ seconds in the past. Following the naming convention in [1], the time-variant impulse response h(t,τ) is called the Input Delay Spread Function (IDSF). Applying a Fourier transform to the IDSF with respect to the variable τ, we get the Time Variant Transfer Function (TVTF) T(f,t): where f is the frequency. TT(ff, tt) = hh(tt, ττ) ee jjjjjjjjjj dddd A Fourier transformation of the IDSF with respect to the variable t leads to the Delay Doppler Spread Function (DDSF) U(τ,v): where v is the Doppler shift. UU(ττ, vv) = hh(tt, ττ) ee jjjjjjjjjj dddd Yet another Fourier transformation pair exists. Transforming the TVTF with respect to the variable t leads to the Output Doppler Spread Function (ODSF) H(f,v): HH(ff, vv) = TT(ff, tt) ee jjjjjjjjjj dddd According to [1], the IDSF, TVTF, DDSF and the ODSF are called system functions and are a means of describing a deterministic time-variant channel. A summary of the interrelation between system functions is shown in Fig.1:
8 8 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool 1.2 Stochastic System Functions Figure 1: Interrelation between system functions Since there are a large number of propagation environments, the channel is randomly timevariant, and so the system functions become stochastic processes. In order to describe such stochastic processes completely, a multidimensional probability density function of the impulse response is required as in [1], [2] and [3] which is much too complicated in practice. Instead, we resort to a second order description namely, the Auto Correlation Function (ACF) as in [3]: RR hh (tt, tt ; ττ, ττ ) = EE{hh (tt, ττ)hh(tt, ττ )} where t and τ are variables associated with the autocorrelation of time and delay. The other three correlation functions are [3]: RR TT (ff, ff ; tt, tt ) = EE{TT (ff, tt)tt(ff, tt )} RR UU (ττ, ττ ; vv, vv ) = EE{UU (ττ, vv)uu(ττ, vv )} RR HH (ff, ff, vv, vv ) = EE{HH (ff, vv)hh(ff, vv )} As in the case of the deterministic system functions, the correlation functions are also related to each other by 2-D Fourier transforms as in [3]. This is because the ACF depends on four variables since the stochastic process is two-dimensional. 1.3 The WSSUS Model In context with mobile radio channels, assumptions about the physical properties of the channel are usually made to simplify its description. The most common is the Wide Sense Stationary Uncorrelated Scattering (WSSUS) [2]. Simply stated, the WSS part of the assumption defines that contributions with different values of the Doppler shift v are uncorrelated while the US part states that contributions with different values of the delay τ are uncorrelated [2]. With this assumption, US means that R T depends only on the frequency difference, while WSS means that R T depends only on the time difference. Hence, R T takes the form as in [2] and [3]: RR TT (ff, ff ; tt, tt ) = RR TT (ff, ff + ff; tt, tt + tt) = RR TT ( ff, tt) = EE{TT (ff, tt)tt(ff + ff, tt + tt)}
9 System-Theoretic Description of the Mobile Radio Channel 9 Similarly, with the WSSUS assumption, the other correlation functions assume the form as in [2] and [3]: RR hh (tt, tt ; ττ, ττ ) = RR hh (tt, tt + tt; ττ, ττ ) = PP hh ( tt, ττ)δδ(ττ ττ ) RR UU (ττ, ττ ; vv, vv ) = PP UU (ττ, vv)δδ(vv vv )δδ(ττ ττ ) RR HH (ff, ff + ff; vv, vv ) = PP HH ( ff, vv)δδ(vv vv ) where the delta functions δδ vv vv and δδ ττ ττ show that different values of the Doppler and delay respectively are uncorrelated. As can be seen, the P-functions [2] arising from the WSSUS assumption are sufficient to determine the correlation functions [3]. Although they are power spectral densities in the strict sense, they are still referred to as being correlation functions of the WSSUS channel. The following naming convention corresponding to [3] is followed for the p-functions: PP hh ( tt, ττ) as delay cross power spectral density (DyCSD) RR TT ( ff, tt) as time frequency correlation function (TFCF) PP UU (ττ, vv) as scattering function (SF) PP HH ( ff, vv) as Doppler cross power spectral density (DpCSD) The correlation functions are related to each other by Fourier transforms in a manner as shown in Fig.2: Figure 2: Relationship between the correlation functions by the Fourier transform Another important observation is that the correlation functions based on the WSSUS are simplified, since they are now functions of two variables instead of four. 1.4 Special Correlation Functions and Condensed Parameters Special Correlation Functions The deterministic system functions and the WSSUS-assumed stochastic correlation functions are functions of two variables, and thus, offer a complicated description of the channel. A function of a single variable, or better still, a single parameter would be the most suitable way of describing the channel.
10 10 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Fortunately such representations are possible. One of them is the Power Delay Profile (PDP), which is the power spectral density in the delay domain. It is obtained as in [2]: PP hh (ττ) = hh(tt, ττ) 22 dddd Another is the Doppler Spectral Density (DSD) obtained as in [2]: PP HH (vv) = HH(vv, ff) 22 dddd Two more functions are: the Frequency Correlation Function (FCF) that can be obtained from the TFCF by setting Δt = 0 i.e., R T (Δf) = R T (Δf,0) as in [3]: RR TT ( ff) = EE{TT (ff, tt)tt(ff + ff, tt)} and the Temporal Correlation Function (TCF) R T (Δt) = R T (0,Δt) also as in [3]: RR TT ( tt) = EE{TT (ff, tt)tt(ff, tt + tt)} Moments of the PDP Based on the PDP, normalized moments are calculated to give a description of the channel using a single parameter. The zeroth-order moment [2] is first calculated. PP mm = PP hh (ττ)dddd The normalized first-order moment is computed as follows to give the mean delay [2]: TT mm = PP hh (ττ)ττττττ The rms delay spread is basically the normalized second-order central moment and is defined by [3] as: SS ττ = PP mm (ττ TT mm) 22 PP hh (ττ)dddd Moments of the DSD The moments of the DSD are calculated just like those for the PDP. The integrated power is: PP mm PP HHHH = PP HH (vv)dddd The normalized first-order moment, the mean Doppler shift, is:
11 System-Theoretic Description of the Mobile Radio Channel 11 vv mm = PP HH (vv)vvvvvv PP HHHH The normalized second-order central moment is known as the rms Doppler spread and defined as [3]: SS vv = (vv vv mm) 22 PP HH (vv)dddd Coherence Bandwidth and Coherence Time The coherence bandwidth defines the window of frequencies over which the signal frequency components of the communication signal fade coherently or in a correlated manner. From [2], it is usually taken to be the 3-dB bandwidth of the frequency correlation function. The PDP and the FCF are related by the Fourier transform. Moreover, the rms delay spread S τ is derived from the PDP while the coherence bandwidth B coh is derived from the FCF. Hence there exists a relationship between S τ and B coh. Based on this insight, B coh is defined by [4] as: PP HHHH BB cccccc = SS ττ On the other hand, the coherence time is the measure of the duration over which the channel s response is essentially invariant. Analogous to the coherence bandwidth, there exists a relationship between the rms Doppler spread S v and the coherence time t coh given by [4] as: 11 tt cccccc = 2222SS vv
12 12 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool 2.1 Introduction Chapter 2 A Brief Guide to the Keithley Channel Sounder The wireless test bed utilized by ComLab is provided by Keithley Instruments. It consists of a transmitter (TX) station and a receiver (RX) station where each station consists of [5]: 1-4 Keithley 2920 VSG(s) and 1-4 Keithley 2820 VSA(s) respectively 1 Keithley 2895 MIMO synchronization unit (provides a common 100 MHz sample clock to all the VSGs and VSAs) 1 PRS10 Rubidium Frequency Reference (provides a stable frequency reference to each station) 1 Ethernet Switch The test bed can be configured in two ways [5]: SISO configuration: with a maximum of 4 stations. Each station consists of a vector signal generator (VSG), vector signal analyzer (VSA), a synchronization unit and a frequency reference. The SISO configuration is shown in Fig.3 [5]: Figure 3: The Wireless Test Bed in the SISO Configuration MIMO configuration: a transmitter (TX) station consisting of a maximum of 4 VSGs and a receiver (RX) station consisting of up to 4 VSAs including the synchronization unit and frequency reference. This is shown in Fig.4 [5]: Figure 4: The Wireless Test Bed in the MIMO Configuration
13 A Brief Guide to the Keithley Channel Sounder Channel Sounding Algorithm The wireless test bed works on an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Time Division Multiple Access (OFDM-TDMA) scheme as explained in [5]. This means that each transmitter is allowed to transmit its OFDM signal only in the time slot that is allocated to it. The following is an analysis of an exemplary sounding symbol that consists of 750 samples as given in the Keithley guide [5]: An FFT size of 128 points with a sample rate of 50 Msample/s is used The DC component, the lower 13 and the upper 12 carriers are unused. This is done so as to avoid problems at the band edges. Hence only 102 carriers (51 below and 51 above DC) are used resulting in an occupied bandwidth of MHz A 28 sample (560 ns) cyclic prefix, a 29 sample (580 ns) gutter a 1 sample post fix and a 1 sample prefix are used The aforementioned breakdown totals = 187 sample bursts for each transmitter, hence 748 samples for the 4 transmitters (the other two samples are also unused to make up 750 samples) 2.3 Configuration File The wireless test bed can be configured for making a measurement by editing the SounderGlobals.asv file (which can be remotely accessed via Ethernet). Various parameters can be changed in the file, most important of which are: NumberDataPoints (the number of measurements) measinterval_s (the measurement interval in seconds) numbertxstations (the number of 2920 VSG TX stations to use) numberrxstations (the number of 2820 VSA RX stations to use) fftsize (the number of subcarriers in the OFDM sounding waveform) 2.4 Header Format The headers of the *.arb file (containing the sounding waveform) and *.bin file (containing the received waveform) are similar and their format is the following as in [5]: The first 32-bits in the header are in the unsigned integer format and contain the number of samples. The sample rate is contained in the next 32-bits. The next 4 bytes are in the float format and contain the cal factor in db. The final 4 bytes in the header are reserved and contain 0.0.
14 14 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Chapter 3 Implementation of the Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Introduction to the Analysis Tool As mentioned earlier, the goal of the project is to implement a channel sounding measurement analysis tool for the wireless test bed utilized by ComLab at the University of Kassel. A glance of this tool can be seen in Fig.5: Figure 5: A Glance of the Tool As can be seen on the bottom half of the tool, the user is given the option to plot either of the system functions, system correlation functions or special correlation functions & condensed parameters corresponding to the mobile radio channel theory in [1], [2] and [3]. Since the wireless test bed is configured in a 4X4 MIMO mode, the user is also allowed to select which of the 16 MIMO channels he intends to characterize in the Channel Selection menu. Noisy channel components can be reduced by applying averaging filter methods with variable filter length. Furthermore, to avoid errors affecting the FFT due to non-periodic signals, an option to window the data is also given to the user. The filtering and windowing options are provided in the Filtering/Windowing menu. A systematic description of how the correlation functions, special correlation functions and condensed parameters are obtained from the system functions is shown in Fig. 6:

Accordingly, the tool has a section dedicated to these system functions. As can be seen in Fig. 7, the user can plot the amplitude and/or phase response corresponding to the four different system functions namely, Input Delay Spread Function (IDSF), Time Variant Transfer Function (TVTF), Delay Doppler Spread Function (DDSF) and Output Doppler Spread Function (ODSF). Figure 7: System Functions Menu The core system function which is used for the calculation of the rest of the system functions is the TVTF which is calculated using the transfunc.m function file as follows: the *.arb and *.bin files are read out using the te_read_arb_file and te_read_bin_file functions the channel sounding algorithm (explained in Chapter 2) is applied to extract the input and output data sequences
16 16 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Fourier transform in the form of FFT is applied to each of these sequences the TVTF is then calculated At the end of the calculation, the following parameters are saved in the parameters.mat file for later calculations: number of measurements, number of samples, sample rate, measurement interval and FFT point size. The following code is an excerpt from the transfunc.m file, giving an overview of the calculation of the TVTF. %********************************************************************* ***** % Reading of the *.arb files containing the input channel sounding waveform %********************************************************************* ***** [X1,samplerate, powerfactor] = te_read_arb_file('sounder1.arb'); %...

Here, the Fourier transform is applied to the TVTF to get the other system functions. This is summarized in Fig.8:
18 18 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Figure 8: Calculation of other system functions from the TVTF 3.2 System Correlation Functions Since there are a large number of propagation environments, the channel is randomly timevariant, and so the system functions become stochastic processes. As was seen in Chapter 1, a stochastic process, with the WSSUS assumption, can be described by P-functions [2] that are sufficient to determine the correlation functions [3]. The analysis tool gives the user the facility to describe such channels in the System Correlation Functions section, Fig.9, described in detail below. Figure 9: Correlation Functions Menu Delay Cross Spectral Density (DyCSD) The Delay Cross Spectral Density (DyCSD) corresponds to the IDSD calculated by [3]: PP hh ( tt, ττ) = RR hh (tt, tt + tt; ττ, ττ ) = EE{hh (tt, ττ)hh(tt + tt, ττ )} The computation is done using the PhDyCSD.m function file. The parameters saved during the calculation of the transfer function are loaded along with the system function IDSF. The correlation function is then calculated using the acorr.m file defined by [6] and based on the following algorithm: Take the conjugate of the data set in reverse order (last element first, first element last) Take the FFT of both the data set and its conjugate Multiply the FFT of the data set with the FFT of the conjugate Inverse transform the product.

Accordingly, the tool integrates a section for these simple descriptions as shown in Fig. 10: Figure 10: Special Correlation Functions & Condensed Parameters section
20 20 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Power Delay Profile [mean delay and delay spread] The Power Delay Profile (PDP) is calculated from the IDSF in the PDP.m function file by [2]: PP hh (ττ) = hh(tt, ττ) 22 dddd The corresponding condensed parameters, first of which is the mean delay is calculated by [2]: TT mm = PP hh (ττ)ττττττ PP mm where PP mm = PP hh (ττ)dddd And the rms delay spread is defined by [3]: SS ττ = (ττ TT mm) 22 PP hh (ττ)dddd PP mm The following code gives an overview of how it is done: load parameters % load the Input Delay Spread Function load systemfunctions hte hte = ifftshift(abs(hte),2); % Calculation of the Power Delay Profile npdp = trapz((1:nummeas)',hte.^2); % trapz is used to numerically integrate the function %******************************************* % Calculation of Condensed Parameters %******************************************* Pm = trapz(1:numsamp,npdp); % Mean Delay Tm = (trapz(1:numsamp,(1:numsamp).*npdp))/pm; Stauz = trapz(1:numsamp,(((1:numsamp)-tm).^2).*npdp); % rms Delay Spread Stau = sqrt (Stauz/Pm); Frequency Correlation Function [coherence bandwidth] The Frequency Correlation Function (FCF) is computed by taking the autocorrelation function of the TVTF as [3]: RR TT ( ff) = EE{TT (ff, tt)tt(ff + ff, tt)} This calculation is done in the FCF.m function file using the acorr.m defined by [6], an excerpt of which is the following code:

The coherence time t coh as in [4] is calculated in the cohtime.m function file: tt cccccc = SS vv Doppler Spectral Density [mean Doppler and Doppler spread] The Doppler Spectral Density (DSD) is calculated from the ODSF in the DSD.m function file by [2]: PP HH (vv) = HH(vv, ff) 22 dddd The corresponding condensed parameters in the form of mean Doppler and Doppler spread are also calculated similar to those for the PDP. The implementation of the DSD is similar to that of the PDP explained in Section Channel Selection Since the wireless test bed can be configured in up to a 4X4 MIMO mode, there are up to 16 combinations of TX- RX channels in the MIMO setup e.g., between TX station 1 and RX station 2. Due to this fact, the tool gives the user an option to select which of the 16 MIMO channels he intends to characterize, as shown below in Fig.11.
22 22 Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Figure 11: Channel Selection Menu 3.5 Filtering and Windowing of the System Functions Filtering In order to average out the noise, a moving average filter is used, the length of which can be typed in the field below Filter Length shown in Fig.12. Enter is pressed on the keyboard, and then the desired system functions, correlation functions or special correlation functions are plotted. Figure 12: Filtering/Windowing Menu The filtering is done via the mavgfilter.m function file. function ntft = mavgfilter(val,tx,rx) %where val is the length of the moving average filter % definition of the moving average filter coefficients b = ones(1,val)/val; a = 1; % TVTF for calculating system functions Tft = transfunc (tx,rx); % TVTF for calculating correlation and special correlation functions load ntft ntft % averaging out the noise in the TVTF Tft = filter(b,a,tft); ntft = filter(b,a,ntft); [Hfv, hte, UEv] = sysfunc (Tft); save systemfunctions Tft Hfv hte UEv
23 Implementation of the Channel Sounding Measurement Analysis Tool Windowing The FFT command assumes that the signal being transformed is periodic. If, however, the signal is not periodic i.e., it doesn t start and end at the same value, this leads to spectral leakage (error in the FFT measurement) due to which additional frequency components that do not exist in the original waveform are observed. Windowing is a means to counter this effect. Accordingly, the tool incorporates a windowing menu shown in Fig. 12, where the user can use either of the Blackman, Hamming, Hanning or Kaiser windows. The user can also opt for no windowing. This can be done by typing in the window name in the field or None/none for no windowing. The tool is not case sensitive meaning the user can type either Hamming or hamming. In case the user types in the wrong spellings or an incorrect window, an info message is displayed: Figure 13: Windowing Error Info The windowing is done via the windows.m function file, the code of which is shown below: % Time Variant Transfer Function used for the system functions temp_tft = transfunc (tx,rx); load parameters % Time Variant Transfer Function used for the correlation and special % correlation functions load ntft % application of Blackman window if (strcmp('blackman',str) strcmp('blackman',str)) == 1 % windowing the TVTF since it is used for calculating IDSF and ODSF for n=1:numsamp temp_tft(n,:) = temp_tft(n,:).*(blackman(nummeas).'); ntft(n,:) = ntft(n,:).*(blackman(nummeas).'); end [temp_hfv, temp_hte, temp_uev] = sysfunc (temp_tft); % windowing of IDSF since it is used for calculating DDSF temp_hte = temp_hte.'; for k=1:numsamp temp_hte(k,:) = temp_hte(k,:).*(blackman(nummeas).'); end temp_hte = temp_hte.'; %****************************************************** % saving the windowed versions of the system functions %****************************************************** Tft = temp_tft; Hfv = temp_hfv;

25 Chapter 4 25 Chapter 4 Future Work The channel sounding measurement analysis tool implemented in the current project is the very first version for the wireless test bed at ComLab. Though efforts have been made to execute an implementation that can be easily modified and extended for future versions of the tool, yet some obvious limitations exist that can be worked upon in future. Some of the limitations of the tool are as follows: The implementation does not cater for large data sets (i.e., large number of measurements from the wireless test bed), e.g., o For a system with: 32-bit Windows XP 2 GB RAM MATLAB 7.4 (2007a) o And a measurement campaign that contains 750 samples per measurement the maximum number of measurements that could be safely handled by the tool is of the order of ten thousand (10,000). The exact number could vary though since the RAM could be allocated to other processes running on the computer. Only one type of filter is implemented to average out the noise The user can choose only 4 windows (Blackman, Hamming, Hann, Kaiser) The limitations posted above provide an insight into what can be modified and extended in the Analysis Tool: An implementation that caters for large data sets Give the user more filtering and windowing options Explore into the possibility of calculating the coherence time/bandwidth using techniques different from the 3 db method
