1. (i) Determine the proper spatial sampling interval required to make small-scale propagation measurements
which assume that consecutive samples are highly correlated in time. How many samples will be required
over 10 m travel distance if fc=1900 MHz and v=50 m/s. How long would it take to make these
measurements, assuming they couldbe made in real time from a moving vehicle? What is the Doppler
spread Bd for the channel? (May2017)
