Final report on link level and system level channel models - Winner

approximately one kilohertz and a nominal centre-frequency of 1766.6MHz. The four MS antennas are
slanted patch with a half-power beam-width of 80-degree, which point in four different directions offset
90-degrees from each other, see Figure 5.9. The CW of the transmit antennas are not frequency locked,
resulting in an unknown phase-offset in the four vector channels between the mobile-station and one
base-station will result. The signals transmitted by the four antenna at MS are received by two basestations,
down-converted to complex I&Q base-band and saved on a hard-disc. One of the base stations
(Kårhuset-A) has a four-element antenna array and is placed on a roof barely above the average building
height in its sector of coverage. The other base-station has two four antenna arrays connected (Vanadis-B
and Vanadis-C) and is placed on a roof some ten meters above the average building height. Views from
basestation are shown in Figure 5.10. The two arrays are located on different edges of the same building
some 20-meters from each other and offset 120-degrees in pointing direction. In front of Vanadis-B are
some trees, which may have an impact on the propagation. The distance between the two sites is 900
meters and the measurements were done in with mobile located in the area between the two BSs. The
path-loss slope from Kårhuset was estimated to be around 40-45dB/dec while it is 25-30dB/dec from
Vanadis. The total measurement route covers about 15km of mobile trajectory.

5.2.6 Scenario D1
5.2.6.1 EBIT campaign
Measurements conducted during 2004 for D1 were performed at two centre-frequencies, 2.45 and 5.25
GHz in Tyrnävä, a small village near Oulu, and its surroundings. The measurement results were included
in the deliverable D5.3 [D5.3].
In the year 2005 three new BS locations were measured at 5.25 GHz with 100 MHz bandwidth. In
addition, PL measurements were conducted with a smaller band-width 10 MHz to increase the sensitivity
of the receiver equipment. This arrangement allowed us to obtain path losses up to 10 km distance.
At the same locations some measurements at 2.45 GHz were performed to investigate the effect of centrefrequency
on the path loss and other channel parameters. For practical reasons the measurements at 2.45
