Equalization Requirements for Millimeter-Wave Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems

Wideband impulse response measurements have been made in residential and light industrial areas of Ottawa, at 29 GHz. Based upon these measured data, we have estimated the parameters of adaptive equalizers that would be required for LMCS/LMDS systems receiver over a range of bit rates. The results should be useful as a guide to specifying modulation schemes and a channel model for evaluation of candidate PHY layers for the 802.16 interoperability standard. Purpose For 802.16.1 to consider the input to form a standardized channel model for evaluation of candidate PHY layers for the 802.16 interoperability standard.
