Abstract
This paper describes a system for radio propagation path characterisation implemented using a flexible DSP-based architecture. The system has three modes of operation, all of which serve different practical purposes. These are:
-
(i)
field-strength monitoring;
-
(ii)
path sounding;
-
(iii)
passive monitoring.
