摘      要：In this paper,a massive multiple input multiple output(MIMO)channel measurement campaign with two setups is conducted in an indoor lobby *** the first setup,two types of 256-element virtual uniform rectangular arrays(URAs),i.e.,the 4×64 virtual URA and the 64×4 virtual URA are *** carrier frequency is 11 GHz;in the second setup,measurements are performed at 4,6,11,13,15,18 GHz at two different user *** channel characterization is presented by investigating the typical channel parameters,including average power delay profile(APDP),K factor,root mean square(RMS)delay spread,and coherence ***,the channel characteristics in angular domain are investigated by applying the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization(SAGE)*** extracted multipath components(MPCs)are preliminarily clustered by visual inspection,and related to the interacting objects(IOs)in physical *** structures at multiple frequency bands are *** spread of departure is estimated to evaluate the directional dispersion at the base station(BS)*** results in this paper can help to reveal the propagation mechanisms in massive MIMO channels,and provide a foundation for the design and application of the practical massive MIMO system.
