Abstract

In this paper, we present validation of a method for constructing a virtual omnidirectional antenna in the azimuth plane. The virtual omnidirectional antenna utilizes a combination of data from directive horn antennas. The aim is to utilize the high gain of the horn antenna to improve the dynamic range of channel sounding measurements conducted in the centimeter and millimeter wave bands. The resulting complex impulse response from the virtual omnidirectional antenna is used to find the power-delay-profile (PDP). This is then compared to measurements conducted at the same time using a real omnidirectional antenna. The validation shows that the synthesized omnidirectional is capable of predicting main components and the slope of the PDP. Further, it is shown that by choosing angular sampling steps corresponding to the half power beam width (HPBW) of the used antenna similar power levels can be achieved.
