We present a flexible real-time software-based multi-band channel sounder, which can flexibly be used in a variety of measurement campaigns, and fills the gap of expensive commercial channel sounders with limitations of operation frequency, sounding bandwidth, and ease of use. In general, channel sounding is a very valuable tool for designing wireless communication systems. Even though commercial channel sounders allow for thorough and detailed measurements, they are typically very expensive. In contrast, existing software-based solutions are often limited in scope and complexity of measurements. Our system closes this gap. Using GNU Radio and USRP radio front-ends, the system provides a high degree of freedom with respect to supported carrier frequencies and bandwidth. We also support features such as automatic spectrum-sweeping and transmitter gain management for dynamic channel characterization. We can use the system for both live visualization of the channel characteristics, e.g., Channel Impulse Response, Channel Frequency Response, Power Delay Profile, and Channel Phase Response, as well as for fully automated and repeatable experiments. |
