Channel Measurements and Characteristics Analysis for Suburban Scenarios at 10 GHz

In this paper, we carry out measurements of wireless channel in suburban scenarios at 10 GHz. Propagation characteristics such as path loss (PL), delay spread (DS), Ricean K factor (KF), angular spread (AS) are investigated. The path loss exponents (PLE) for the floating-intercept (FI) and closein (CI) models are analyzed. In the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenario, higher PL is observed due to increased scattering and the absence of direct signals. It is found that the line-of-sight (LOS) scenario exhibits a more concentrated DS distribution while NLOS scenario exhibits a significantly larger azimuth spread of arrival (ASA), which should be from diffraction.
