GOMEZ-VEGA, Carlos A. et al. Doppler spectrum measurements of vehicular radio channels using a narrowband sounder. Rev.fac.ing.univ. Antioquia [online]. 2019, n.93, pp.32-40. ISSN 0120-6230.  https://doi.org/10.17533/10.17533/udea.redin.20190405.

This paper describes the implementation of a narrowband sounder for Doppler power spectrum (DPS) measurements of vehicular communication channels. The narrowband channel sounder is implemented using general purpose equipment, making such measurement platform easy to replicate for didactic and research purposes. To demonstrate the practical value of this framework, a measurement campaign was conducted to obtain empirical information about the spectral characteristics of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) multipath radio channels in the 700 MHz band. The collected data were processed to compute the average Doppler shift and the Doppler spread of the measured channels. The obtained results show that the spectral properties of frequency-dispersive vehicular radio channels can be effectively analyzed using narrowband sounding principles.
