Multi-Band Channel Sensing in the Upper Mid-Band (FR3)
Paper in proceeding, 2025
The following paper presents a multi-band sensing channel quality analysis in the upper mid-band, also known as frequency range 3 (FR3). Measurements were conducted at 6.5 GHz, 8.75 GHz, 10 GHz, and 15 GHz, using a setup designed for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). The sensing channel quality is evaluated using the estimation reliability metric, based on the iterative Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm. Given the static environment, we also validate a method to handle time-invariant dense multipath components (DMCs). Results show that lower bands enable the detection of more specular components due to lower path loss, but stronger DMC leads to lower estimation SNR. Higher bands provide cleaner estimates despite detecting fewer components. The trade-offs inherent to upper and lower FR3 bands highlight the potential of multi-band ISAC in the FR3 spectrum.
