Mir Ghoraishi, Project Leader, 5G Testbed and Proof-of-Concept, 5G Innovation Centre, University of Surrey, speaking at the Interlligent Seminar 2017. Emerging millimetre wave technologies impose tough channel sounding requirements. This is because bandwidth is very wide, e.g. more than 1 GHz, the link is normally super directional, e.g. pencil beams by employing large arrays and beamforming techniques, and the blockage can happen easily as movement of medium size objects can have significant effects on the communication link causing fast variations in the channel. On the other hand the radio system, switches and antenna array design and implementation at millimetre wave are complicated and expensive. This talk presents an overview of the specific challenges for millimetre wave channel sounding and data analysis
