Motivation• The alignment of high gain antennas used for 300 GHz links is
challenging especially in the device discovery phase during the set-upof the connectionof the connection.
• Brute-force scanning of the angle-of-arrival at the receiver and of theangle-of-departure at the transmitter is too time-consuming.Th f t t b li d h h• Therefore, a two-step process can be applied, where roughestimations of the angles are derived at lower frequencies withantennas having lower gains in the first step [1]. A i i l h h d i il i i f h h l• A pre-requisite to apply such a method are similarities of the channel atthe higher and lower frequencies.
• This presentation provides a comparison of measured spatial channelcharacteristics at carrier frequencies of 9 GHz, 64 GHz and 304 GHz using an ultra-wideband channel sounder [2].
• Aditionally the results are compared with simulated characteristics

Calibration with Back-to-Back Measurement
• A reference measurement (B2B measurement) is carried out for a calibration to compensate for the imperfection of RF frontend.
• In the B2B measurement, Tx and Rx are connected with a 50 dB attenuator.f f S• The calibration has significantly supressed the ”fake” signals and improved the SINR.

Conclusion
• Visual inspection of measurements of angular power spectra at carrier frequencies of 9 64 and 304 GHzspectra at carrier frequencies of 9, 64 and 304 GHz in a lecture room has revealed reasonable agreementacross the freqeuncies.q
• This supports first findings from an earlier simulation-based study on the applicability of a two-stepy yapproach for the determination of the angles-of-arrival/angles-of-departure during device discovery
• Reasonable agrement is also achieved, whencomparing the maeasurements with simulatedangular power spectra in the same lecture room
