Abstract
In this work three wideband mobile radio channel sounding methods are simulated and compared using computational tools. The considered sounders include the traditional STDCC and two other proposed sounding methods that are based on OFDM digital transmission and detection procedures and on matched filtering. The impact of the phase noise introduced by the receiver local oscillator in the precision of the examined sounders is analyzed by comparing the estimated channel results with the simulated reference channel. Other impairments factors like thermal noise or nonlinear distortion affecting the system are not considered.
