MIMO channel sounding is essential for evaluating the MIMO transmission performance in real propagation environments. In this paper, we have developed a versatile channel sounder by using the GNU Radio and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) platform and the virtual antenna array method. The developed channel sounder is low cost and can be utilized flexibly for measurements in the UHF band. The performance of the developed channel sounder was validated through a T-junction cable connected test and an indoor channel measurement. The result showed that the performance quite agreed with the measurement of a VNA-based measurement system. The developed channel sounder is expected to be utilized for various kinds of propagation channel measurements.

This paper introduces an ultrawideband (UWB) channel sounding system. Its novel architecture allows real-time measurements of multiple time-variant radio propagation channels in different ultrawide frequency bands. Its architecture allows emulation of multiuser systems, sensor networks, localization systems, and distributed MIMO radar systems. The sounder uses a maximum length binary sequence (MLBS) excitation signal and correlation processing in the receiver. Its synchronous multichannel operation is supported by excellent timing stability and low power consumption of miniature size modules based upon custom integrated SiGe circuits. The paper describes the architecture, design, calibration, basic parameters, and application examples of the sounding system.
