Abstract:
An example device may include at least three phased array antennas controllable to provide respective receive beams steerable in azimuth and elevation, where faces of the phased array antennas are arranged to provide a receive beam coverage 360 degrees in azimuth, and at least three radio frequency front ends to receive channel sounding waveforms from a fifth generation base station of a cellular network via the respective receive beams and to generate baseband signals from the channel sounding waveforms. The device may include a processing system including at least one processor in communication with the radio frequency front ends to steer the respective receive beams via instructions to the radio frequency front ends, receive the baseband signals from the radio frequency front ends, determine a plurality of measurements of at least one wireless channel parameter based upon the baseband signals, and record locations and spatial orientation information for the measurements.
