Radio Frequency Measurements for Selected Manufacturing and Industrial Environments

Radio Frequency Measurements for Selected Manufacturing and Industrial Environments using a PN Code Sounding methodology. The resulting measurements include complex impulse responses and spectrum analysis traces. Complex impulse responses were validated using both ray tracing and an outdoor two-ray reference facility. This data is meant to serve as a reference of how radio waves at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz propagate in industrial environments. The user is encouraged to first read the NIST Technical Note 1979 NIST Channel Sounder Overview and Channel Measurements in Manufacturing Facilities for a full explanation of the measurement configuration. NIST Technical Note 1951 provides gross analysis of the measurements. The report System Error Calibration in Large Datasets of Wireless Channel Sounding for Industrial Applications explains the system errors introduced by the equipment and a method for correction. The measurement data and meta data is provided at the project landing page.
