In this paper, an optimized wideband channel sounder designed for measuring the time variant impulse response of outdoor radio channels in the frequency range 1800-2000 MHz is presented. Prior to hardware implementation the system was first modelled on a high performance supercomputer to enable the system designer to optimize the digital signal processing algorithms and the parameters of the hardware components by simulation. It is shown that the proposed measuring system offers a significantly larger amplitude resolution, i.e. dynamic range, than conventional systems applying matched filtering. This is achieved by transmitting digitally generated periodic spread spectrum test signals adjusted to amplifier non-linearities and by applying optimum unbiased estimation instead of matched filtering in the receiver. A further advantage of the hardware implementation of the proposed system compared to conventional systems [5]-[7] is its high flexibility with respect to measuring bandwidth, period of the test signal and sounding rate. The main features of the optimized system are described and first measurement results are presented.
