Equipment and Software Used

Two mobile mmWave SDRs, developed at the University of South Carolina for the AERPAW platform, Sivers EVK06002 and RFSoC2x2.

Description

In this dataset, based on a beam sweeping experiment in the 60 GHz band in an indoor environment, we provide the acquired IQ data samples (containing the announced TX antenna weighting vectors (AWV) index as information) for the given RX AWV index, location, and carrier frequency. We also include the information obtained after processing the PPDU in IQ data.
